Glycoside hydrolase family 101

In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 101 is a family of glycoside hydrolases.

Glycoside hydrolases EC 3.2.1. are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families. This classification is available on the CAZy (http://www.cazy.org) web site, and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.

Glycoside hydrolase family GH101 includes enzymes with endo-α-N-acetylgalactosaminidase EC 3.2.1.97 activity and can be split into several subfamilies.
