Cellulase

Description:
Cellulase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of cellulose, a polysaccharide found in the cell walls of plants. It is classified as a glycoside hydrolase and plays a crucial role in the breakdown of cellulose into glucose units, facilitating the digestion of plant material in various organisms, including fungi and bacteria. The enzyme operates optimally at specific pH and temperature ranges, which can vary depending on its source. Cellulase is commonly used in various industrial applications, including biofuel production, textile processing, and food industries, where it aids in the clarification of fruit juices and the improvement of bread quality. The enzyme is produced by a variety of microorganisms, and its activity can be influenced by factors such as substrate concentration and the presence of inhibitors. As a biocatalyst, cellulase is considered environmentally friendly, contributing to sustainable practices in waste management and renewable energy production. Its CAS number, 9012-54-8, is a unique identifier that helps in the classification and regulation of this enzyme in scientific and industrial contexts.
