Thioglucosidase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a thioglucosidase (EC 3.2.1.147) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

a thioglucoside + H₂O a sugar + a thiol

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are thioglucoside and H₂O, whereas its two products are sugar and thiol.

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 thioglucoside glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include myrosinase, sinigrinase, and sinigrase. This enzyme participates in tryptophan metabolism.
