HP09025
hp09025: A Comprehensive Overview
Description
Hp09025, also known as hypothetical protein 09025, is a protein encoded by the gene AC073320.2. This protein exhibits conserved domains characteristic of the glycoside hydrolase family 1. Glycoside hydrolases are enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of glycosidic bonds, which are linkages between carbohydrates.
Hp09025 belongs to the GH1 subfamily 13, which includes enzymes with beta-D-xylosidase activity. These enzymes catalyze the hydrolysis of beta-D-xylose residues from xylooligosaccharides and xylan. Xylooligosaccharides and xylan are components of hemicellulose, a major structural component of plant cell walls.
Associated Diseases
Currently, there are no known diseases directly linked to mutations in the hp09025 gene. However, understanding the role of hp09025 and other xylosidases in carbohydrate metabolism is essential for advancing research on various health conditions.
Did you Know ?
Recent studies have shown that in humans, the activity of beta-D-xylosidase enzymes, including hp09025, is highest in the small intestine. This suggests that hp09025 and other xylosidases play a significant role in the digestion of dietary xylan and xylooligosaccharides in the human digestive system.
