Mannan endo-1,4-beta-mannosidase

UniProtKB accession:  P49424

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the endo hydrolysis of beta-1,4-linked mannan and galactomannan, but displays little activity towards other polysaccharides located in the plant cell wall (PubMed:11382747). Preferentially hydrolyzes the larger oligosaccharides and has greater activity against non-substituted polysaccharides (PubMed:7848261, PubMed:8973192). It displays tight specificity for mannose at both the -2 and the -1 subsites (PubMed:19441796). Appears to act in synergy with alpha-galactosidase (AgaA) to elicit hydrolysis of galactomannan (PubMed:11064195).
