| Accepted name: |
glucan 1,4-β-glucosidase |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of (1→4)-linkages in (1→4)-β-D-glucans, to remove successive glucose units |
| Other name(s): |
exo-1,4-β-glucosidase; exocellulase; exo-β-1,4-glucosidase; exo-β-1,4-glucanase; β-1,4-β-glucanase; β-glucosidase; exo-1,4-β-glucanase; 1,4-β-D-glucan glucohydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
4-β-D-glucan glucohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Acts on 1,4-β-D-glucans and related oligosaccharides. Cellobiose is hydrolysed, but very slowly. |
