| Accepted name: |
protodioscin 26-O-β-D-glucosidase |
| Reaction: |
protodioscin + H2O = 26-deglucoprotodioscin + D-glucose |
| Other name(s): |
F26G; torvosidase; CSF26G1; furostanol glycoside 26-O-β-D-glucosidase; furostanol 26-O-β-D-glucoside glucohydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
protodioscin glucohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme has been characterized from the plants Cheilocostus speciosus and Solanum torvum. It also hydrolyses the 26-β-D-glucose group from related steroid glucosides such as protogracillin, torvoside A and torvoside H. |
