Proteins involved in endocytic transit (Lysozyme)

Top: Vesicles containing lysozyme (blue dots).

Right: Immunofluorescence image of a cell expressing lysozyme-GFP (green) stained for lysosomal esterase (red).

Function: Lysozyme degrades bacteria in vitro. A mutant lacking the major lysozyme isoform compensates by increased phagocytosis.
