3.2.1.87 |
Accepted name: |
capsular-polysaccharide endo-1,3-α-galactosidase |
Reaction: |
Random hydrolysis of (1→3)-α-D-galactosidic linkages in Aerobacter aerogenes capsular polysaccharide |
Other name(s): |
polysaccharide depolymerase; capsular polysaccharide galactohydrolase |
Systematic name: |
Aerobacter-capsular-polysaccharide galactohydrolase |
Comments: |
Hydrolyses the galactosyl-α-1,3-D-galactose linkages only in the complex substrate, bringing about depolymerization. |
