Glycoside_hydrolase_family_72
In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 72 is a family of glycoside hydrolases.
Glycoside hydrolases EC 3.2.1. are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families.[1][2][3] This classification is available on the CAZy web site,[4][5] and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.[6][7]
This family includes yeast glycolipid proteins anchored to the membrane. It includes Candida albicans pH-regulated protein, which is required for apical growth and plays a role in morphogenesis, and Saccharomyces cerevisiae glycolipid anchored surface protein.
