6-Phospho-β-glucosidase

The enzyme 6-phospho-β-glucosidase () catalyzes the following reaction:

6-phospho-β-<small>D</small>-glucosyl-(1,4)-<small>D</small>-glucose + H<sub>2</sub>O <small>D</small>-glucose + <small>D</small>-glucose 6-phosphate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 6-phospho-β-<small>D</small>-glucosyl-(1,4)-<small>D</small>-glucose glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include phospho-β-glucosidase A, phospho-β-glucosidase, and phosphocellobiase.
