Function

ARBA_CELJU Involved in the degradation of arabinan and is a key enzyme in the complete degradation of the plant cell wall. Catalyzes the cleavage of the terminal alpha-(1->5)-arabinofuranosyl bonds of linear arabinan and carboxymethylarabinan to produce almost exclusively arabinotriose.^{[1] [2] [3]}
