Description
Glucan endo-1,3-beta-D-glucosidase is an enzyme with system name 3-beta-D-glucan glucanohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:Hydrolysis of (1->3)-beta-D-glucosidic linkages in (1->3)-beta-D-glucans. This enzyme is marginally active on mixed-link (1->3,1->4)-beta-D-glucans.
