O-Glycosyl hydrolases (
3.2.1.
) 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 glycosyl hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of 85 different families
[2, 1]
. This classification is available on the CAZy (CArbohydrate-Active EnZymes) website.

This group of beta-galactosidase enzymes (
3.2.1.23
) belong to the glycosyl hydrolase 42 family
GH42
. The enzyme catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing terminal beta-D-galactosidase residues.
