Purity ~90% (SDS-PAGE). Endolysin with lysozyme activity that degrades host peptidoglycans and participates with the holin and spanin proteins in the sequential events which lead to the programmed host cell lysis releasing the mature viral particles. Once the holin has permeabilized the host cell membrane, the endolysin can reach the periplasm and break down the peptidoglycan layer. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-164 from enterobacteria phage T4 Lysozyme, fused to His-SUMO-Tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~34.6kD AA
