Exoglycosidase

Japanese: エキソグリコシダーゼ - えきそぐりこしだーぜ
Exoglycosidase

…The basis of enzymatic hydrolysis is that monosaccharides are cut off one by one from the end of the glycan by specific glycosidases. Enzymes that act from the end of the glycan in this way are called exoglycosidases, and they have strict specificity for the type of monosaccharide they act on. In addition, the action of enzymes (endoglycosidases) that cut the glycan from the inside to release oligosaccharides is added, making the catabolism of the glycan more efficient. …
