Lysozyme ELISA for Human Stool (ImmuChrom)

Description The Immuchrom Lysozyme ELISA Kit is an immunoassay intended for the quantitative determination of lysozyme in human stool samples. For research use only. Quantification of fecal lysozyme may be useful in researching inflammatory processes in the intestine and for the detection of a disturbed immunological barrier at the intestinal mucosa. Summary Lysozyme is a relatively small enzyme consisting of a 129 amino acid polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 14.6 kDa. Lysozyme is a glycosidase that, as a component of the innate immune system, is primarily directed against the murein-containing cell wall of gram-positive bacteria. Therefore, it is also called muramidase because it can cleave the murein (peptidoglycan) from bacterial walls by hydrosylating the beta-1,4-glycosidic bond between N-acetylglucosamine and N-acetylmuramic acid. Lysozyme is found in many secretions of the human body, including tear fluid, saliva, blood serum and cerebrospinal fluid. It is produced in
