FAMILY

glycosyl hydrolase 10 (cellulase F) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as XYN3_HYPJQ, xyn3. Glycoside hydrolase involved in the hydrolysis of xylan, a major plant cell wall hemicellulose made up of 1, 4-beta-linked D-xylopyranose residues. Catalyzes the endohydrolysis of the main-chain 1, 4-beta-glycosidic bonds connecting the xylose subunits yielding various xylooligosaccharides and xylose. Produces xylobiose and xylotriose as the main degradation products. Monomer.
