In molecular biology, Glycoside hydrolase family 16 is a family of glycoside hydrolases.
Glycoside hydrolases EC 3.2.1. are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families.[1][2][3] This classification is available on the CAZy web site,[4][5] and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.[6][7] y[ _]9
Glycoside hydrolase family 16 CAZY GH_16 comprises enzymes with a number of known activities; lichenase (EC 3.2.1.73); xyloglucan xyloglucosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.207); agarase (EC 3.2.1.81); kappa-carrageenase (EC 3.2.1.83); endo-beta-1,3-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.39); endo-beta-1,3-1,4-glucanase (EC 3.2.1.6); endo-beta-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.103).
