The endo-polygalacturonase II (Polygalacturonase EC 3.2.1.15) of the fungus ''Aspergillus Niger'' is an enzyme which is involved in the rotting process. It specifically degrade polygalacturonate, a major carbohydrate constituent of plant cell wall pectin, by hydrolysis of the glycosidic bonds that link galacturonic acid residues. | The endo-polygalacturonase II (Polygalacturonase EC 3.2.1.15) of the fungus ''Aspergillus Niger'' is an enzyme which is involved in the rotting process.

Polygalacturonase belongs to the Glycoside hydrolysases 28 (GH28) according to the sequence-based classification of glycoside hydrolysases. The enzyme of the GH28 family achieves the hydrolysis with an inverting molecular mechanism. | Polygalacturonase belongs to the Glycoside hydrolysases 28 (GH28) according to the sequence-based classification of glycoside hydrolysases.
