BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
3-beta-D-xylan xylanohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
Random endohydrolysis of (1->3)-beta-D-glycosidic linkages in (1->3)-beta-D-xylans
Comment
This enzyme is found mostly in marine bacteria, which break down the beta(1,3)-xylan found in the cell wall of some green and red algae. The enzyme produces mainly xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose.
