In enzymology, a steryl-beta-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.104) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside + H2O
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside and H2O, whereas its two products are D-glucose and cholesterol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cholesteryl-beta-D-glucoside glucohydrolase.
