Enzyme Information

3.2.1.176
Cellulose 1,4-beta-cellobiosidase (reducing end).
based on mapping to UniProt P0C2S5
Hydrolysis of (1->4)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in cellulose and similar substrates, releasing cellobiose from the reducing ends of the chains.
-!- Some exocellulases, most of which belong to the glycoside hydrolase family 48 (GH48), act at the reducing ends of cellulose and similar substrates. -!- The CelS enzyme from Clostridium thermocellum is the most abundant subunit of the cellulosome formed by the organism. -!- It liberates cellobiose units from the reducing end by hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond, employing an inverting reaction mechanism. -!- Different from EC 3.2.1.91, which attacks cellulose from the non- reducing end.
