This group of beta-galactosidase enzymes belong to the glycosyl hydrolase 42 family. The enzyme catalyses the hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing terminal beta-D-galactosidase residues.

This is the N-terminal CBM-like domain in exo-beta-agarase proteins (EC:3.2.1.81) found in the marine microbe Saccharophagus degradans. This enzyme catalyzes a critical step in the metabolism of agarose by S. degradans through cleaving agarose oligomers into neoagarobiose products that can be further processed into monomers. The CBM-like domain is structurally very similar to some CBM families. A loop in the CBM-like domain is involved in forming the roof of the active site channel. The contribution of the CBM-like domain to formation of the active site of the enzyme supports a role in substrate recognition explaining the exo-mode of beta-agarase action [1].
