Name |
capsular-polysaccharide endo-1,3-alpha-galactosidase;
polysaccharide depolymerase;
capsular polysaccharide galactohydrolase
|
Class |
Hydrolases;
Glycosylases;
Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds
|
Sysname |
Aerobacter-capsular-polysaccharide galactohydrolase
|
Reaction(IUBMB) |
Random hydrolysis of (1->3)-alpha-D-galactosidic linkages in Aerobacter aerogenes capsular polysaccharide
|
Comment |
Hydrolyses the galactosyl-alpha-1,3-D-galactose linkages only in the complex substrate, bringing about depolymerization.
