| Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 49 |
| 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 is a family of dextranase () and isopullulanase () which are all members of glycoside hydrolase family 49 (). Dextranase hydrolyses alpha-1,6-glycosidic bonds in dextran polymers. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_49 |
