Glycoside hydrolase family 63
Encyclopedia
In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 63 is a family
of glycoside hydrolases
.
Glycoside hydrolases are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond
between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety. A classification system for glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of >100 different families. This classification is available on the CAZy(http://www.cazy.org/GH1.html) web site, and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.
Glycosyl hydrolase family 63 (CAZY GH_63) is a family of eukaryotic enzymes. They catalyse the specific cleavage of the non-reducing terminal glucose
residue from Glc(3)Man(9)GlcNAc(2). Mannosyl oligosaccharide glucosidase is the first enzyme in the N-linked oligosaccharide
processing pathway.

A protein family is a group of evolutionarily-related proteins, and is often nearly synonymous with gene family. The term protein family should not be confused with family as it is used in taxonomy....
