CAZymes
CAZymes (Carbohydrate-active Enzymes) are enzymes that modify carbohydrates. They play important roles during (for examples) the degradation of lignocellulose, plant pathogenesis, and cell wall modifications.CAZymes are subdivided into classes, families, and subclasses. The main classes are:
- GH: glycoside hydrolases
- GT: glycosyl transferases
- PL: polysaccharide lyases
- CE: carbohydrate esterases
- AA: enzymes with auxiliary activities
- CBM: carbohydrate-binding domains
The annotations below are based on dbCAN version 14.
