FEATURES

FAMILY

glycosyl hydrolase 10 (cellulase F) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as XYNC_PAEBA, xynC. Endoxylanase with high hydrolytic activity on birchwood and oat spelt xylan. Xylotetraose, xylotriose, xylobiose and xylose are the main products from birchwood xylan hydrolysis. Shows increasing activity on xylo-oligosaccharides of increasing length. Displays very low hydrolytic activity on Avicel, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and p-nitrophenyl-beta-xylopyranoside. Also shows transxylosidase activity, allowing the formation of xylo-oligosaccharides of higher degree of polymerization than the starting substrate.
