| Accepted name: |
carboxymethylcellulase |
| Reaction: |
Endohydrolysis of (1→4)-β-D-glucosidic linkages in (carboxymethyl)cellulose. |
| Other name(s): |
CMCase |
| Systematic name: |
4-β-D-(carboxymethyl)glucan 4-(carboxymethyl)glucanohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from the acidophilic bacterium Alicyclobacillus acidocaldarius is an endo-cleaving hydrolase that cleaves β(1→4)-linked residues. However, it is specific for (carboxymethyl)cellulose and does not act on cellulosic substrates such as avicel. |
