Ec Number:	3.2.1.82
Cas Number:	37288-58-7

Exo-poly-α-galacturonosidase (exopolygalacturonosidase, exopolygalacturanosidase, poly(1,4-α-D-galactosiduronate) digalacturonohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name poly[(1→4)-α-<small>D</small>-galactosiduronate] digalacturonohydrolase.^{[1] [2] [3]} It catalyses the hydrolysis of pectic acid from the non-reducing end, releasing digalacturonate.
