Xylan 1,4-β-xylosidase

Xylan 1,4-β-xylosidase (, xylobiase, β-xylosidase, exo-1,4-β-xylosidase, β- D -xylopyranosidase, exo-1,4-xylosidase, exo-1,4-β- D -xylosidase, 1,4-β- D -xylan xylohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name 4-β- D -xylan xylohydrolase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * Hydrolysis of (1->4)-β- D -xylans, to remove successive D xylose residues from the non-reducing termini

This enzyme also hydrolyses xylobiose.
