Evolution of g-type lysozymes in metazoa: insights into immunity and digestive adaptations
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental BiologyExploring the evolutionary dynamics of lysozymes is critical for advancing our knowledge of adaptations in immune and digestive systems. Here, we characterize the distribution of a unique class of lysozymes known as g-type, which hydrolyze key components
