beta-Mannosidase - ț̢
An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing beta-D-mannose residues in beta-D-mannosides. The enzyme plays a role in the lysosomal degradation of the N-glycosylprotein glycans. Defects in the lysosomal form of the enzyme in humans result in a buildup of mannoside intermediate metabolites and the disease BETA-MANNOSIDOSIS.
Synonyms : beta-Mannanase, manA protein (beta-Mannosidase), beta D Mannosidase, beta Mannanase, beta Mannosidase
