Alginase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.2 Glycosylases > 3.2.1 Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds > 3.2.1.16 alginase
Alginase is a brown-algae-degrading glycoside hydrolase of the EC 3.2.1.x family that depolymerises alginate. By cleaving the beta-1,4-hexuronan backbone it supports microbial and marine-invertebrate utilisation of algal alginate in cellular organisms.
