2-deoxyglucosidase

The enzyme 2-deoxyglucosidase catalyzes the following chemical reaction


 * a 2-deoxy-α- D -glucoside + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2-deoxy- D -glucose + an alcohol

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is 2-deoxy-α- D -glucoside deoxyglucohydrolase. Other names in common use include 2-deoxy-α-glucosidase, and 2-deoxy-α- D -glucosidase.
