Lysozyme also known as LYZ is a marker of tissue cells, which is expressed in tissue cells, granulocytes and monocytes. Lysozyme is primarily located in various tissues and body fluids, including saliva, tears, and mucus, where Lysozyme contributes to the innate immune response by targeting and neutralizing pathogens. Lysozyme plays a crucial role in the immune system as a bacteriolytic enzyme, breaking down bacterial cell walls and providing a first line of defense against infections. Lysozyme presence in these locations is vital for maintaining mucosal immunity and protecting against microbial invasion.
