Descriptor celulasas
Entry term(s) laminarinasa
Scope note: Familia de glicosidasas que hidrolizan la CELULOSA cristalina para producir moléculas de azúcares solubles. En esta familia existen diversos subtipos de enzimas, con especificidad por sustratos diferentes, que deben actuar conjuntamente para producir una hidrólisis completa de la celulosa. Se encuentran en estructuras denominadas CELULOSOMAS.

Scope note: A family of glycosidases that hydrolyse crystalline CELLULOSE into soluble sugar molecules. Within this family there are a variety of enzyme subtypes with differing substrate specificities that must work together to bring about complete cellulose hydrolysis. They are found in structures called CELLULOSOMES.
