This gene encodes a member of the C-type lysozyme/alpha-lactalbumin family. C-type lysozymes are bacteriolytic factors that play a role in host defense, whereas alpha-lactalbumins mediate lactose biosynthesis. The encoded protein contains catalytic residues characteristic of C-type lysozymes and may play a role in male reproduction. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed for this gene.,LYZL6,HEL-S-6a,LYC1,LYZB,PRO1485,TKAL754,UNQ754,Cell Biology & Developmental Biology,Immunology & Inflammation,Cell Intrinsic Innate Immunity Signaling Pathway,LYZL6
