|
||
| Function: | |
The biological conversion of cellulose to glucose generally requires three types of hydrolytic enzymes: (1) Endoglucanases which cut internal beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds; (2) Exocellobiohydrolases that cut the disaccharide cellobiose from the non-reducing end of the cellulose polymer chain; (3) Beta-1,4-glucosidases which hydrolyze the cellobiose and other short cello-oligosaccharides to glucose. |
|
||
| 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. |
| Similarity: | |
Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 9 (cellulase E) family. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE-ProRule:PRU10140, ECO:0000305}. |
