In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 72 is a family of glycoside hydrolases.
Glycoside hydrolases EC 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 glycoside hydrolases, based on sequence similarity, has led to the definition of ;100 different families. This classification is available on the CAZy web site, and also discussed at CAZypedia, an online encyclopedia of carbohydrate active enzymes.
This family includes yeast glycolipid proteins anchored to the membrane. It includes "Candida albicans" pH-regulated protein, which is required for apical growth and plays a role in morphogenesis, and "Saccharomyces cerevisiae" glycolipid anchored surface protein.
