Glycosidases, i.e. enzymes that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl
compounds
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname lactose galactohydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB) lactose + H2O = D-galactose + D-glucose [RN:R01100 R06114]
Reaction(KEGG) R01100 R06114(G) > R01678 R06098(G)
Show
Substrate lactose [CPD:C00243];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product D-galactose [CPD:C00124];
D-glucose [CPD:C00031]
Comment The enzyme from intestinal mucosa is isolated as a complex that also
catalyses the reaction of EC 3.2.1.62 glycosylceramidase. cf. EC
3.2.1.33 amylo-alpha-1,6-glucosidase.
