Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences beta Glucosidase Activity
Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences MAK1291KT
beta-Glucosidase hydrolyzes carbohydrates by acting on terminal non-reducing b(1-4)-linked D-glucose residues with the release of D-glucose. beta-Glucosidases are required by organisms for the consumption of cellulose. Lysozyme a beta-glucosidase present in tears acts on the beta(1-4) glucose bonds present in the peptidoglycan cell wall of Gram-negative bacteria and helps to prevent bacterial infections in the eye. Defects in beta-glucosidase activity have been implicated in Gauchers disease and Parkinsons disease.
