About LYG2

Cytogenetic location: 2q11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:99,242,246-99,261,522 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 337 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Low expression observed in reference dataset.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene contains a SLT domain, a protein domain present in Bacterial lytic transglycosylase (SLT) and in eukaryotic lysozymes (GEWL). SLT domain catalyzes the cleavage of the beta-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetyglucosamine (GlcNAc). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
