Substrate specificities

Content is to be added here.

Family GH128 contains β-1,3-glucanases that cleave β-1,3 linkages in various β-glucans such as lentinan from Lentinula edodes, laminarin from Laminaria digitata, pachyman from Poria cocos and curdlan from Alcaligenes faecalis. The first GH128 enzyme, GLU1, was cloned from L. edodes fruiting bodies (shiitake mushroom). GLU1 did not degrade β-1,3-linkages within β-1,3-1,4-glucans such as barley glucan, indicating the enzyme is categorized into EC 3.2.1.39 [1].
