FAMILY

glycosyl hydrolase 9 (cellulase E) family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as GUNG_RUMCH, celCCG. The biological conversion of cellulose to glucose generally requires three types of hydrolytic enzymes: (1) Endoglucanases which cut internal beta-1, 4-glucosidic bonds; (2) Exocellobiohydrolases that cut the disaccharide cellobiose from the non-reducing end of the cellulose polymer chain; (3) Beta-1, 4-glucosidases which hydrolyze the cellobiose and other short cello-oligosaccharides to glucose.
