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. …

Japanese:

…糖鎖の末端から,1個ずつ単糖が特異的な糖加水分解酵素によって切断されていくのが酵素的加水分解の基本である。このように糖鎖の末端から作用していく酵素はエキソグリコシダーゼとよばれるが,作用する単糖の種類などについて厳しい特異性をもっている。さらに糖鎖を内側から切断して少糖を遊離する酵素(エンドグリコシダーゼ)の作用が加わり,糖鎖の異化を効率的に進めている。…
