Oligoxyloglucan beta-glycosidase explained

Oligoxyloglucan β-glycosidase
Ec Number:3.2.1.120
Cas Number:97162-80-6

Oligoxyloglucan β-glycosidase (isoprimeverose-producing oligoxyloglucan hydrolase, oligoxyloglucan hydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name oligoxyloglucan xyloglucohydrolase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of (1->4)-β-D-glucosidic links in oligoxyloglucans so as to remove successive isoprimeverose [i.e. α-xylo-(1->6)-β-<small>D</small>-glucosyl-] residues from the non-reducing chain ends
