| Type: | Domain | Name: | Glycosyl hydrolase family 53 |
| Description: | O-Glycosyl hydrolases () are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families [, ]. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) web site.This domain is found in family 53 of the glycosyl hydrolase classification []. These enzymes are endo-1,4- beta-galactanases (). The structure of this domain is known [] and has a TIM barrel fold. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_53 |
