CAZypedia needs your help! We have many unassigned GH, PL, CE, AA, GT, and CBM pages in need of Authors and Responsible Curators.
Scientists at all career stages, including students, are welcome to contribute to CAZypedia. Read more here, and in the 10th anniversary article in Glycobiology.

Glycoside Hydrolase Family 69
This page has been approved by the Responsible Curator as essentially complete. CAZypedia is a living document, so further improvement of this page is still possible. If you would like to suggest an addition or correction, please contact the page's Responsible Curator directly by e-mail.
This family has been deleted from the CAZy classification. A specific explanation may be found below.
GH69 is a deleted family
Entries in GH69 were transferred to Polysaccharide Lyase Family 16 when it was shown that polysaccharide cleavage occurred via a beta elimination, rather than glycosidic bond hydrolysis [1, 2].
