| Accepted name: |
xyloglucan-specific endo-β-1,4-glucanase |
| Reaction: |
xyloglucan + H2O = xyloglucan oligosaccharides |
| Other name(s): |
XEG; xyloglucan endo-β-1,4-glucanase; xyloglucanase; xyloglucanendohydrolase; XH; 1,4-β-D-glucan glucanohydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
[(1→6)-α-D-xylo]-(1→4)-β-D-glucan glucanohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from Aspergillus aculeatus is specific for xyloglucan and does not hydrolyse other cell-wall components. The reaction involves endohydrolysis of 1,4-β-D-glucosidic linkages in xyloglucan with retention of the β-configuration of the glycosyl residues. |
