[lysozyme-5] This Caenorhabditis elegans gene is one of several paralogs encoding a putative lysozyme and plays a role in innate immunity. Knock-out of lys-5 expression decreases pathogen resistance against Bacillus thuringiensis, and overexpression of lys-5 increases resistance (Boehnisch et al, 2011).
