Type: | Domain | Name: | Glycosyl hydrolase family 38, C-terminal |
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 38 comprises enzymes with only one known activity; alpha-mannosidase () (). This domain is found at the C terminus of glycosyl hydrolases from family 38. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_38_C |
