Coniferin beta-glucosidase

The enzyme coniferin β-glucosidase catalyzes the following chemical reaction:


 * coniferin + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D -glucose + coniferol

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name is coniferin β- D -glucosidase. It is also called coniferin-hydrolyzing β-glucosidase. It participates in phenylpropanoid biosynthesis.
