6-Phospho-β-glucosidase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme 6-phospho-β-glucosidase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the following reaction:

6-phospho-β-D-glucosyl-(1,4)-D-glucose + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ D-glucose + D-glucose 6-phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 6-phospho-β-D-glucosyl-(1,4)-D-glucose glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include phospho-β-glucosidase A, phospho-β-glucosidase, and phosphocellobiase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code Template:PDB link.
