3.2.1.23

Accepted name:

β-galactosidase

Reaction:

Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing β-D-galactose residues in β-D-galactosides

Other name(s):

lactase (ambiguous); β-lactosidase; maxilact; hydrolact; β-D-lactosidase; S 2107; lactozym; trilactase; β-D-galactanase; oryzatym; sumiklat

Systematic name:

β-D-galactoside galactohydrolase

Comments:

Some enzymes in this group hydrolyse α-L-arabinosides; some animal enzymes also hydrolyse β-D-fucosides and β-D-glucosides; cf. EC 3.2.1.108 lactase.
