Beta-glucosidase A

Molecular classification: Enzyme, Glycoside hydrolase

Overview

Beta-glucosidase A (EC 3.2.1.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing β-D-glucosyl residues in glycosides, releasing β-D-glucose. It plays roles in glycolipid and glycoside metabolism in animals, plant defense mechanisms, cell wall lignification, and biomass conversion in microorganisms.

Other names: Cellobiaseβ-D-glucoside glucohydrolase
