- Xyloglucan-specific exo-beta-1,4-glucanase
In
enzymology , a xyloglucan-specific exo-beta-1,4-glucanase (EC number|3.2.1.155) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :xyloglucan + H2O xyloglucan oligosaccharides (exohydrolysis of 1,4-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in xyloglucan)
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
xyloglucan and H2O, and its products are xyloglucan oligosaccharides (exohydrolysis of1,4-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in xyloglucan).This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is [(1->6)-alpha-D-xylo] -(1->4)-beta-D-glucan exo-glucohydrolase. This enzyme is also called Cel74A.References
