Avenacosidase
Avenacosidase is a glucosidase enzyme found in the oat species Avena. Avenacosidase is known to act against fungal infection. Avenacosidase is a member of the family of enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of O and S-glycosyl compounds. The enzyme catalyzes the following reaction:
The protein consists of 60 kDa subunits, and was first isolated from oat seedlings. The enzyme is known to halt all catalytic activity once frozen and thawed.
