Description
Alpha-N-arabinofuranosidase is an enzyme with system name alpha-L-arabinofuranoside arabinofuranohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction: Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing alpha-L-arabinofuranoside residues in alpha-L-arabinosides. The enzyme acts on alpha-L-arabinofuranosides, alpha-L-arabinans containing (1,3)- and/or (1,5)-linkages, arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans.
