Ec Number:3.2.1.71
Cas Number:37288-49-6

Glucan endo-1,2-β-glucosidase (endo-1,2-β-glucanase, β-D-1,2-glucanase, endo-(1→2)-β-D-glucanase, 1,2-β-D-glucan glucanohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-β-D-glucan glucanohydrolase.[1] It catalyses random hydrolysis of (1→2)-glucosidic linkages in (1→2)-β-D-glucans.
