    basic FUNCTION
  • play a major role in human reproduction
  • mechanism of antibacterial action of LYZL2 and LYZL6 involved bacterial membrane damage and leakage of cellular contents
  • may have a role in sperm function, innate immunity and other physiological process as well
  • role for LYZL2, LYZL4, LYZL6 in sperm function
  • LYZL2 (basic) and LYZL6 (acidic) possessed intact catalytic residues and could be possessing bacteriolytic activity (pMID: 27832206)
