The localization of lysozyme, which may function as an antibacterial agent, was immunohistochemically studied on the mouse Paneth cell secretory granules showing bipartite substructures (central core and peripheral halo). The lysozyme immunoreactivity was observed in the core, but not in the halo. Even in germ-free mice, Paneth cells have many secretory granules and their cores show lysozyme immunoreactivity. It seems likely that mice Paneth cells possess the ability to produce secretory granules containing lysozyme in disregard of the intestinal bacterial milieu.

D009113 Muramidase A basic enzyme that is present in saliva, tears, egg white, and many animal fluids. It functions as an antibacterial agent. The enzyme catalyzes the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-linkages between N-acetylmuramic acid and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in peptidoglycan and between N-acetyl-D-glucosamine residues in chitodextrin.
