| Accepted name: |
rhamnogalacturonan acetylesterase |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolytic cleavage of 2-O-acetyl- or 3-O-acetyl groups of α-D-galacturonic acid in rhamnogalacturonan I. |
| Other name(s): |
RGAE |
| Systematic name: |
rhamnogalacturonan 2/3-O-acetyl-α-D-galacturonate O-acetylhydrolase |
| Comments: |
The degradation of rhamnogalacturonan by rhamnogalacturonases depends on the removal of the acetyl esters from the substrate [1]. |
