Function

AGUA_GEOSE Alpha-glucuronidase involved in the hydrolysis of xylan, a major structural heterogeneous polysaccharide found in plant biomass representing the second most abundant polysaccharide in the biosphere, after cellulose. It catalyzes the cleavage of alpha-1,2-glycosidic bond of the 4-O-methyl-D-glucuronic acid side chain of xylan and releases 4-O-methylglucuronic acid from xylan.^[1]
