Protein-glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine glucosidase explained

protein-glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine glucosidase
Ec Number:3.2.1.107
Cas Number:72829-45-9
Go Code:0047402

The enzyme protein-glucosylgalactosylhydroxylysine glucosidase catalyzes the following chemical reaction:

[collagen]-(5R)-5-O-[α-<small>D</small>-glucosyl-(1→2)-β-<small>D</small>-galactosyl]-5-hydroxy-L-lysine + H2O = D-glucose + [collagen]-(5R)-5-O-(β-D-galactosyl)-5-hydroxy-L-lysine

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is protein-α-D-glucosyl-1,2-β-D-galactosyl-L-hydroxylysine glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include 2-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-5-O-α-D-galactopyranosylhydroxy-L-lysine glucohydrolase, and lysine glucohydrolase.
