Glucanase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glucanases are enzymes that break down large polysaccharides via hydrolysis. The product of the hydrolysis reaction is called a glucan, a linear polysaccharide made of up to 1200 glucose monomers, held together with glycosidic bonds.[1] Glucans are abundant in the endosperm cell walls of cereals such as barley, rye, sorghum, rice, and wheat.[1] Glucanases are also referred to as lichenases, hydrolases, glycosidases, glycosyl hydrolases, and/or laminarinases.[1] Many types of glucanases share similar amino acid sequences but vastly different substrates.[1] Of the known endo-glucanases, 1,3-1,4-β-glucanase is considered the most active.[1]
