KEGG   ENZYME: 3.2.1.103
Entry
EC 3.2.1.103                Enzyme                                 
Name
keratan-sulfate endo-1,4-beta-galactosidase;
endo-beta-galactosidase (ambiguous);
keratan sulfate endogalactosidase;
keratanase;
keratan-sulfate 1,4-beta-D-galactanohydrolase
Class
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds
Sysname
keratan-sulfate 4-beta-D-galactanohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-galactosidic linkages in keratan sulfate [RN:R07805]
Reaction(KEGG)
R07805(G)
Comment
Hydrolyses the 1,4-beta-D-galactosyl linkages adjacent to 1,3-N-acetyl-alpha-D-glucosaminyl residues. Also acts on some non-sulfated oligosaccharides, but only acts on blood group substances when the 1,2-linked fucosyl residues have been removed (cf. EC 3.2.1.102 blood-group-substance endo-1,4-beta-galactosidase).
