Peptidoglycan lytic endotransglycosylase.
based on mapping to UniProt P0C960
Endolytic cleavage of the (1->4)-beta-glycosidic linkage between N-acetylmuramic acid (MurNAc) and N-acetylglucosamine (GlcNAc) residues in peptidoglycan with concomitant formation of a 1,6-anhydrobond in the MurNAc residue.
