Product Name: Cellulase

Other Names: Endoglucanase, β-1,4-glucanase

CAS No.: 9012-54-8

Molecular Formula: Not applicable (enzyme complex)

Specification: Activity units per gram (specific activity may vary based on source and application)

Appearance and Color: Off-white to pale yellow powder

Ingredient Information: Cellulase is a group of enzymes produced primarily by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyze the hydrolysis of β-1,4-glycosidic bonds in cellulose, leading to the breakdown of cellulose into glucose and shorter polysaccharides. These enzymes play a crucial role in the degradation of plant cell walls and are essential in various biological processes, including digestion in herbivores. [Source]

Uses: Industrially, cellulase is utilized in the textile industry for bio-polishing fabrics, in the paper industry for deinking recycled paper, and in the food industry to clarify fruit juices and improve the digestibility of animal feed. Additionally, cellulase is employed in the production of biofuels, where it aids in breaking down plant biomass into fermentable sugars. In research, cellulase is used to study plant cell wall structure and function. [Source]
