CAS 37288-54-3
:Endo-β-1,4-mannanase
Description:
Endo-β-1,4-mannanase, with the CAS number 37288-54-3, is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of β-1,4-mannosidic linkages in mannan polysaccharides. This enzyme is crucial in the degradation of hemicellulose, a major component of plant cell walls, and plays a significant role in various biological processes, including the digestion of plant materials by herbivores. Endo-β-1,4-mannanase exhibits specificity for mannan substrates, such as guar gum and locust bean gum, and is characterized by its ability to produce mannooligosaccharides as hydrolysis products. The enzyme is typically produced by microorganisms, including bacteria and fungi, and is utilized in various industrial applications, including food processing, animal feed, and biofuel production, due to its ability to enhance the digestibility of plant materials. Its activity is influenced by factors such as pH, temperature, and the presence of inhibitors or activators, making it a subject of interest in both research and industrial biotechnology.

endo-β-1,4-Mannanase
CAS:<p>Endo-β-1,4-Mannanase (other names Mannan endo-1,4-β-mannosidase, endo-β-1,4-mannase, β-mannanase B, β-1, 4-mannan 4-mannanohydrolase, endo-β-mannanase, β-D-mannanase, 1,4-β-D-mannan mannanohydrolase; EC 3.2.1.78) is an enzyme, catalyzing the hydrolysis of -1, 4-mannosidic linkages in mannans, glucomannans and galactomannans. One unit of Endo-β-1,4-Mannanase will release 1.0 µmole of mannose reducing-sugar per minute from a 3mg/ml mannan solution at pH 5.5 and 37degC. Expressed in U/g.</p>
