Imran Khan has developed a profound study on the mechanism showing that lysozyme inhibited the proliferation of SW480 cancer cells, and it was found that lysozyme has the potential to inhibit cell proliferation by blocking the interaction between S100A6 (originally known as calcium cyclin, a calcium-binding protein belonging to S100 family) and RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts) (Khan et al., 2019). This evidence concerns the gene LYZ and cancer.
