Steryl-beta-glucosidase

In enzymology, a steryl-beta-glucosidase (EC number|3.2.1.104) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside + H₂O $ightleftharpoons$ D-glucose + cholesterol

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside and H₂O, whereas its two products are D-glucose and cholesterol.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside glucohydrolase.
