| Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 17 |
| 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 17 comprises enzymes with several known activities; endo-1,3-beta-glucosidase (); lichenase (); exo-1,3-glucanase (). Currently these enzymes have only been found in plants and in fungi. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_17 |
