Include only IUIS approved allergens.

Biochemical properties

Glycoside hydrolase family 3 comprises enzymes with a number of known activities: β-glucosidase, β-xylosidase, N-acetyl-β-glucosaminidase, glucan-β-1,3-glucosidase, cellodextrinase, and exo-1,3-1,4-glucanase. These enzymes are two-domain globular proteins that are N-glycosylated at three sites [1].

Allergens from this family

Asp n 14, a xylanase from Aspergillus niger, which is used as a dough improver in the baking industry, was identified as an occupational allergen [2].
