| UniProt functional annotation for P0C2S3 | |||
| UniProt code: P0C2S3. |
| Organism: | Hungateiclostridium thermocellum (Clostridium thermocellum). | |
| Taxonomy: | Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Eubacteriales; Oscillospiraceae; Acetivibrio. | |
| Function: | This enzyme catalyzes the endohydrolysis of 1,4-beta- glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose, lichenin and cereal beta-D-glucans.; EC=3.2.1.4; | |
| Pathway: | Glycan metabolism; cellulose degradation. | |
| Miscellaneous: | CelC has an unusual substrate range and displays features common to cellobiohydrolases by being able to cleave the agluconic bond of aryl-beta-glucosides. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 5 (cellulase A) family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
