Protein
Acetylxylan esterase / glucomannan deacetylase
Organism
Cellvibrio japonicus (strain Ueda107)
Function
Involved in the degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides. Catalyzes the deacetylation of acetylated birchwood xylan and glucomannan, with equal efficiency, and of the synthetic substrate 4-nitrophenyl acetate (4-NPAc). Does not bind cellulose, cellohexaose and beta-glucan.
Similarity
Belongs to the carbohydrate esterase 2 (CE2) family.
