ID   3.2.1.189
DE   dioscin glycosidase (diosgenin-forming).
AN   dioscin glycosidase (aglycone-forming).
CA   dioscin + 3 H2O = D-glucose + diosgenin + 2 L-rhamnopyranose.
CC   -!- The enzyme is involved in degradation of the steroid saponin dioscin
CC       by some fungi of the Absidia genus.
CC   -!- The enzyme can also hydrolyze 3-O-[alpha-L-Ara-(1->4)-[alpha-L-Rha-
CC       (1->2)]-beta-D-Glc]diosgenin into diosgenin and free sugars as the
CC       final products.
CC   -!- (cf. EC 3.2.1.190).
