IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.2.1.83

Names

Accepted name:
κ-carrageenase
Other name:
κ-carrageenan 4-β-D-glycanohydrolase
Systematic name:
κ-carrageenan 4-β-D-glycanohydrolase (configuration-retaining)

Reaction

Comments:

The main products of hydrolysis are neocarrabiose-sulfate and neocarratetraose-sulfate [5]. Unlike EC 3.2.1.157 (ι-carrageenase), but similar to EC 3.2.1.81 (β-agarase), this enzyme proceeds with retention of the anomeric configuration.
