| Type: | Domain | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 70, catalytic domain |
| 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.Glucosyltransferases or sucrose 6-glycosyl transferases (GTF-S) (, ) catalyse the transfer of D-glucopyramnosyl units from sucrose onto acceptor molecules []. This entry represents a domain that roughly corresponds to the N-terminal catalytic domain of the enzyme. Members of this family also contain the putative cell wall binding domain which corresponds with the C-terminal glucan-binding domain. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro70cat |
