3CBW is a heterodimeric protein complex that originates from the bacterial species Bacillus Subtilis and has a mass of 80.65 kDa. It is a member of the Glycoside Hydrolase super family with structural and sequential similarities to hydrolases and mannanases. Current evidence suggests it causes the hydrolysis of glycosidic linkages via a LEU. 176 or ILE. 275 active site.

3CBW exists as a heterodimeric quaternary structure. Analyzing primary and quaternary structures of 3CBW with SPRITE and Chimera revealed two chains identical in both shape and sequence. Each chain is a little over 300 residues long, and the entire complex has a molecular weight of approximately 80.65 kDa.

3CBW proteins originate from bacterial species Bacillus Subtilis. InterPro search results show how nearly every enzyme with similar sequencing to 3CBW is found in various bacteria. Additionally, the PDB entry for 3CBW notes how it potentially can be found in B.S., the best studied gram-positive bacterial species which has probiotic properties.
