EC	3.2.1.188
Accepted name:	avenacosidase
Reaction:	avenacoside B + H2O = 26-desgluco-avenacoside B + D-glucose
Glossary:	avenacoside B = (22S,25S)-3β-{β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy}-26-(β-D-glucopyranosyloxy)-22,25-epoxyfurost-5-ene 26-desgluco-avenacoside B = (22S,25S)-3β-{β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→3)-β-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-[α-L-rhamnopyranosyl-(1→2)]-β-D-glucopyranosyloxy}-22,25-epoxyfurost-5-en-26-ol
Other name(s):	As-P60
Systematic name:	avenacoside B 26-β-D-glucohydrolase
Comments:	Isolated from oat (Avena sativa) seedlings. The product acts as a defense system against fungal infection. Also acts on avenacoside A.
