MeSH definition : A group of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of alpha- or beta-xylosidic linkages.
EC 3.2.1.8 catalyzes the endo-hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-D-xylosidic linkages; EC 3.2.1.32
catalyzes the endo-hydrolysis of 1,3-beta-D-xylosidic linkages; EC 3.2.1.37 catalyzes
the exo-hydrolysis of 1,4-beta-D-linkages from the non-reducing termini of xylans;
and EC 3.2.1.72 catalyzes the exo-hydrolysis of 1,3-beta-D-linkages from the non-reducing
termini of xylans. Other xylosidases have been identified that catalyze the hydrolysis
of alpha-xylosidic bonds.;
