Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 43 |
Description: | O-Glycosyl hydrolases () are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families [, ]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site.Glycoside hydrolase family 43 includes enzymes with the following activities, beta-xylosidase (), alpha-L-arabinofuranosidase (); arabinanase (), and xylanase (). | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_43 |
