Oligoxyloglucan reducing-end-specific cellobiohydrolase explained

Oligoxyloglucan reducing-end-specific cellobiohydrolase
Ec Number:3.2.1.150
Cas Number:753502-07-7

Oligoxyloglucan reducing-end-specific cellobiohydrolase is an enzyme with systematic name oligoxyloglucan reducing-end cellobiohydrolase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

Hydrolysis of cellobiose from the reducing end of xyloglucans consisting of a (1->4)-beta-linked glucan carrying alpha-D-xylosyl groups on O-6 of the glucose residues.

The enzyme is found in the fungus Geotrichum sp. M128.
