| Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 4 |
| 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.Glycoside hydrolase family 4 comprises enzymes with several known activities; 6-phospho-beta-glucosidase (); 6-phospho-alpha-glucosidase (); alpha-galactosidase ().6-phospho-alpha-glucosidase requires both NAD(H) and divalent metal (Mn2+, Fe2+, Co2+, or Ni2+) for activity []. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_4 |
