Type: | Family | Name: | 6-phospho-beta-galactosidase |
Description: | 6-phospho-beta-galactosidase () is part of the tagatose-6-phosphate pathway of galactose-6-phosphate degradation. A 6-phospho-beta-D-galactoside + H2O = an alcohol + 6-phospho-D-galactoseThe genes coding for the enzymes of the tagatose 6-phosphate pathway have been found to be part of the lac operon together with the genes coding for the lactose-phosphotransferase system and the phospho-beta-galactosidase in Lactococcus lactis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus mutans. | Short Name: | 6P-beta-galactosidase |
