Substrate
protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside with two glucosyl residues at position 3;
H2O [CPD:C00001];
protopanaxadiol-type ginsenoside with one glucosyl residue at position 3
Product

Comment
Ginsenosidase type III catalyses the sequential hydrolysis of the 3-O-beta-D-(1->2)-glucopyranosyl bond followed by hydrolysis of the 3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl bond of protopanaxadiol ginsenosides. When acting for example on ginsenoside Rb1 the enzyme first generates ginsenoside XVII, and subsequently ginsenoside LXXV.
