Official Full Name
β-Xylosidase
Background
Releases reducing sugars from birchwood xylan (X0502), also catalyzes the hydrolysis of 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-cellobioside and 4-methylumbelliferyl-β-D-glucopyranoside. This enzyme does not possess endo-xylanase, arabinoxylanase or β-glucanase activities. β-Xylosidase undergoes post-translation glycosylation which has been shown to be critical for its proper activity and stability. Deglycosylation altered the the optimum temperature and pH for activity and decreased its thermostability.
Synonyms
β-Xylosidase; EC 3.2.1.37; 9025-53-0; Xylosidase
