β-Mannosidase is a lysosomal enzyme that belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase family 2.
Application
β-Mannosidase from Helix pomatia has been used:
in the digestion of glycans for enzymatic analysis
in the treatment of labeled monogalactosyl Manno-oligosaccharides
in non-mammalian glycosidase inhibition assays
Biochem/physiol Actions
β-Mannosidase participates in cleaving the β(1–4)-linked mannose located at the nonreducing end of N-glycosylated proteins. It is involved in the polysaccharide degradation pathway. In humans, mutations in the gene are associated with β-mannosidosis, a lysosomal storage disease. Low levels of β-Mannosidase due to mutations also lead to nystagmus, an eye disorder associated with involuntary eye movements.
Unit Definition

Cell walls of tomato fruit contain hemicellulosic mannans that may fulfill a structural role. Two populations were purified from cell walls of red ripe tomato tissue and named galactoglucomannan-glucuronoxylan I and II (GGM-GX I and II), respectively. Both polysaccharides not

A novel biosensor strain (Escherichia coli ALM403) that responded to N-acyl homoserine lactone (AHL) was constructed using a luxR-Plux cassette as a regulatory sequence and β-mannanase as a reporter gene. Dinitrosalicylic acid method was used to detect the response of
Statistical modeling was applied for describing structural features of β-(1→4)-D-galactomannans. According to the model suggested theoretical ratios of limiting degrees of locust bean, tara gum and guar gum galactomannan conversions by two β-(1→4)-mannanases of different origin (Myceliophthora thermophila and Trichoderma
