| Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 42 |
| 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 group of beta-galactosidase enzymes () belong to the glycosyl hydrolase 42 family . The enzyme catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing terminal beta-D-galactosidase residues. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_42 |
