Keywords

hyperthermophilic enzyme; 1,4-beta-D-glucan glucohydrolase; gghA; Glucan glucohydrolase; Beta-D-glucoside glucohydrolase; Beta-glucosidase; Glucan 1,4-beta-glucosidase; CTN_0782

Background

Broad substrate specificity glycosidase. Releases glucose from soluble glucooligomers, with a preference for longer oligomers; acts more readily on cellotetraose than on cellobiose. Displays similar activities towards the disaccharides lactose and cellobiose. Is also able to hydrolyze various aryl-beta-glycosides in vitro.
