DESCRIPTION

Also known as GANB_BACLD, ganB, galA, yvfO. Involved in galactan degradation (PubMed:15312766). Degrades arabinose-free galactan to galactooligosaccharides, producing galactotetraose as the main product along with galactotriose, galactobiose, and galactose (PubMed:15312766). May hydrolyze the beta-1, 4-galactan linkages of the galactan portion of arabinogalactan type I, a pectic plant polysaccharide from which most of the arabinose has been removed (By similarity).
