Structural highlights
Function
IABF_STRAW Involved in the degradation of arabinan and is a key enzyme in the complete degradation of the plant cell wall. Catalyzes only the cleavage of terminal alpha-(1->5) arabinofuranosyl bonds of arabinan present in the arabinofuranosyl polysaccharides or oligosaccharides. It cannot act on other arabinose-containing polysaccharides and arabinoxylo-oligosaccharides.[1]
