| Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 1 |
| 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 1 comprises enzymes with a number of known activities; beta-glucosidase (); beta-galactosidase (); 6-phospho-beta-galactosidase (); 6-phospho-beta-glucosidase (); lactase-phlorizin hydrolase (), (); beta-mannosidase (); myrosinase (). | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_1 |
