NCBI Protein Information
beta-xylosidase 3
NCBI Summary
Encodes a protein similar to a beta-xylosidase located in the extracellular matrix. It is able to degrade terminal arabinosyl residues and likely participates in the in-vivo hydrolysis of arabinan. This is a member of glycosyl hydrolase family 3 and has six other closely related members.

UniProt Comments
Involved in the hydrolysis of arabinan. Can hydrolyze (1,3)-alpha-, (1,2)-alpha-linked side group residues and non-reducing terminal L-arabinofuranose residues of debranched (1,5)-alpha-L-arabinan backbone. Acts also as a beta-D-xylosidase, releasing D-xylose from arabinoxylan and xylan.
