MeSH

An exocellulase with specificity for a variety of beta-D-glycoside substrates. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing residues in beta-D-glucosides with release of GLUCOSE.

Year introduced: 1992

A glycosidase that hydrolyzes a glucosylceramide to yield free ceramide plus glucose. Deficiency of this enzyme leads to abnormally high concentrations of glucosylceramide in the brain in GAUCHER DISEASE. EC 3.2.1.45.

Year introduced: 1991(1975)

An autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of acid beta-glucosidase (GLUCOSYLCERAMIDASE) leading to intralysosomal accumulation of glycosylceramide mainly in cells of the MONONUCLEAR PHAGOCYTE SYSTEM. The characteristic Gaucher cells, glycosphingolipid-filled HISTIOCYTES, displace normal cells in BONE MARROW and visceral organs causing skeletal deterioration, hepatosplenomegaly, and organ dysfunction. There are several subtypes based on the presence and severity of neurological involvement.

Year introduced: 2000(1966)

A group of four homologous sphingolipid activator proteins that are formed from proteolytic cleavage of a common protein precursor molecule referred to as prosaposin.

Year introduced: 2005(1977)

specific for hydroxamic acid glucosides; from wheat seedlings; N-terminal amino acid sequence in first source

RefSeq NM_020973

Date introduced: April 24, 2001

An exocellulase with specificity for the hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-glucosidic linkages of 1,4-beta-D-glucans resulting in successive removal of GLUCOSE units.

Year introduced: 2004

The results showed that a region spanning 11 amino acids (Ile(72)-Thr(82)) on Glu1 is essential and sufficient for BGAF binding

catalyzes the hydrolysis of dhurrin

Date introduced: August 7, 2000

highly specific, some other ajmalan glucoside alkaloids are hydrolysed more slowly; reaction: raucaffricine + H2O = vomilenine + D-glucose; EC number in first source; has been sequenced

Date introduced: July 9, 1999

a bacterial enzyme that exhibits both Beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.21) and Beta-xylosidase (EC 3.2.1.37) activities; amino acid sequence given in first source; GenBank U08606

Date introduced: April 13, 1995

cleaves prunasin to form mandelonitrile & glucose

Date introduced: May 13, 1982

specific for glucose & nonmetabolizable analogs methyl alpha glucoside, beta-D-thioglucose & 5-thioglucose

Date introduced: September 30, 1981

Date introduced: August 20, 1980

Date introduced: January 1, 1978

An exocellulase with specificity for 1,3-beta-D-glucasidic linkages. It catalyzes hydrolysis of beta-D-glucose units from the non-reducing ends of 1,3-beta-D-glucans, releasing GLUCOSE.

Year introduced: 2004

homologous to beta-glucosidases; marker for late stages of growth in Arabidopsis thaliana; amino acid sequence in first source; RefSeq NM_115877.4
