CEL6B

1,4-beta-D-glucan cellobiohydrolase CEL6B

419 amino acids

Exoglucanase that plays an important function in biomass degradation by catalyzing the hydrolysis of the non-reducing end beta-1,4-glucosidic linkages in cellulose and cellotetraose to release cellobiose. Hydrolyzes crystalline and amorphous cellulose but is inactive on hydroxyethyl cellulose, mannan, galactomannan, xyloglucan, arabinoxylan, arabinan, xylan, and pectin.

Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 6 (cellulase B) family.

cel6B

Endoglucanase-6B

348 amino acids

Plays a central role in the recycling of plant biomass. The biological conversion of cellulose to glucose generally requires three types of hydrolytic enzymes: (1) Endoglucanases which cut internal beta-1,4-glucosidic bonds; (2) Exocellobiohydrolases that cut the disaccharide cellobiose from the non-reducing end of the cellulose polymer chain; (3) Beta-1,4-glucosidases which hydrolyze the cellobiose and other short cello-oligosaccharides to glucose.

Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 6 (cellulase B) family.
