| Accepted name: |
arabinan endo-1,5-α-L-arabinanase |
| Reaction: |
Endohydrolysis of (1→5)-α-arabinofuranosidic linkages in (1→5)-arabinans |
| Other name(s): |
endo-1,5-α-L-arabinanase; endo-α-1,5-arabanase; endo-arabanase; 1,5-α-L-arabinan 1,5-α-L-arabinanohydrolase; arabinan endo-1,5-α-L-arabinosidase (misleading) |
| Systematic name: |
5-α-L-arabinan 5-α-L-arabinanohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Acts best on linear 1,5-α-L-arabinan. Also acts on branched arabinan, but more slowly. |
