Lyzl6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable lysozyme activity. Predicted to be involved in defense response to bacterium and fusion of sperm to egg plasma membrane involved in single fertilization. Predicted to be located in sperm midpiece and sperm plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in acrosomal vesicle and sperm flagellum. Orthologous to human LYZL6 (lysozyme like 6).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Lyzl6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
