| Accepted name: |
xylan 1,4-β-xylosidase |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of (1→4)-β-D-xylans, to remove successive D-xylose residues from the non-reducing termini |
| Other name(s): |
xylobiase; β-xylosidase; exo-1,4-β-xylosidase; β-D-xylopyranosidase; β-xylosidase; β-xylosidase; exo-1,4-xylosidase; exo-1,4-β-D-xylosidase; 1,4-β-D-xylan xylohydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
4-β-D-xylan xylohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Also hydrolyses xylobiose. Some other exoglycosidase activities have been found associated with this enzyme in sheep liver. |
