Substrate specificities

Only a single enzyme of glycoside hydrolase family 114 has been characterized; an endo α-1,4-polygalactosaminidase from Pseudomonas sp. 881 [1]. This enzyme hydrolyzes α-1,4-polygalactosamine to oligosaccharides in an endo-acting manner. Tetraose and longer galactosamine oligosaccharides were hydrolyzed to galactosaminobiose and galactosaminotriose as the final products [2].
