Description
Glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase is an enzyme with system name 3-beta-D-glucan glucanohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:Hydrolysis of (1->3)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in (1->3)-beta-D-glucans. This enzyme is marginally active on mixed-link (1->3,1->4)-beta-D-glucans.
Abbr
Glucanase, Native (Helix pomatia)
Applications
β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from is used to digest β-1,3-glucan, which is a major component of cell walls. β-(1→3)-D-Glucanase from Helix pomatia has been used fto digest the cell walls of C. albicans.
