DE   funoran endo-beta-hydrolase.
AN   beta-funoranase.
CA   Endohydrolysis of beta-(1->4)-linkages between beta-D-galactopyranose-6-
CA   sulfate and 3,6-anhydro-alpha-L-galactopyranose units in funoran.
CC   -!- The enzyme is an endohydrolase that hydrolyzes the beta(1->4) bond in
CC       funoran, a polysaccharide produced by red algae of the genus
CC       Gloiopeltis.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the marine bacterium Wenyingzhuangia aestuarii OF219
CC       acts on agarose with a higher efficiency (cf. EC 3.2.1.81), but binds
CC       funoran preferentially.
