3alpha(S)-strictosidine beta-glucosidase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a 3alpha(S)-strictosidine beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.105) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- strictosidine + H2O D-glucose + strictosidine aglycone
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are strictosidine and H2O, whereas its two products are D-glucose and strictosidine aglycone.
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 strictosidine beta-D-glucohydrolase. This enzyme participates in indole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis.
