1-FEH w2.
1-fructan exohydrolase.
Beta-(2,1)-D-fructan fructohydrolase.
Beta-(2-1)-D-fructan fructohydrolase.
Beta-(2-1)-linkage-specific fructan-beta-fructosidase.
Beta-(2-1)fructan exohydrolase.
Inulinase.
Reaction catalysed
Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing (2->1)-linked beta-D-fructofuranose residues in fructans
Comment(s)
  • Possesses one of the activities of EC 3.2.1.80.
  • While the best substrates are the inulin-type fructans, such as 1-kestose (beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl alpha-D-glucopyranoside) and 1,1-nystose (beta-D-fructofuranosyl- (2->1)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-beta-D-fructofuranosyl alpha-D- glucopyranoside), some (but not all) levan-type fructans can also be hydrolyzed, but more slowly (see EC 3.2.1.154).
  • Sucrose, while being a very poor substrate, can substantially inhibit enzyme activity in some cases.
