| Accepted name: |
glucan endo-1,3-β-D-glucosidase |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of (1→3)-β-D-glucosidic linkages in (1→3)-β-D-glucans |
| Other name(s): |
endo-1,3-β-glucanase; laminarinase; laminaranase; oligo-1,3-glucosidase; endo-1,3-β-glucanase; callase; β-1,3-glucanase; kitalase; 1,3-β-D-glucan 3-glucanohydrolase; endo-(1,3)-β-D-glucanase; (1→3)-β-glucan 3-glucanohydrolase; endo-1,3-β-D-glucanase; endo-1,3-β-glucosidase; 1,3-β-D-glucan glucanohydrolase |
| Systematic name: |
3-β-D-glucan glucanohydrolase |
| Comments: |
Different from EC 3.2.1.6 endo-1,3(4)-β-glucanase. Very limited action on mixed-link (1→3,1→4)-β-D-glucans. Hydrolyses laminarin, paramylon and pachyman. |
