Type: | Domain | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 85 |
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 endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidases belong to the glycoside hydrolase family 85 (). These enzymes work on a broad spectrum of substrates. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_85 |
