Data class Protein
Names Alginate_lyase



Identifier ALGL
Protein name
RecName: Full=Alginate lyase;
EC=4.2.2.3;
AltName: Full=Poly(beta-D-mannuronate) lyase;
AltName: Full=Poly(mana) alginate lyase;
Flags: Precursor;
Gene name algL
FUNCTION: Depolymerizes alginate by cleaving the beta-1,4 glycosidic bond (By similarity).
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Eliminative cleavage of polysaccharides containing beta-D-mannuronate residues to give oligosaccharides with 4-deoxy-alpha-L-erythro-hex-4-enopyranuronosyl groups at their ends.
