EC 3.2.1.55     
Accepted name: non-reducing end α-L-arabinofuranosidase
Reaction: Hydrolysis of terminal non-reducing α-L-arabinofuranoside residues in α-L-arabinosides.
Other name(s): arabinosidase (ambiguous); α-arabinosidase; α-L-arabinosidase; α-arabinofuranosidase; polysaccharide α-L-arabinofuranosidase; α-L-arabinofuranoside hydrolase; L-arabinosidase (ambiguous); α-L-arabinanase
Systematic name: α-L-arabinofuranoside non-reducing end α-L-arabinofuranosidase
Comments: The enzyme acts on α-L-arabinofuranosides, α-L-arabinans containing (1,3)- and/or (1,5)-linkages, arabinoxylans and arabinogalactans. Some β-galactosidases (EC 3.2.1.23) and β-D-fucosidases (EC 3.2.1.38) also hydrolyse α-L-arabinosides. cf. EC 3.2.1.185, non-reducing end β-L-arabinofuranosidase.
