Carbohydrate esterase, sialic acid-specific acetylesterase. The catalytic triad of this esterase enzyme comprises residues Ser127, His403 and Asp391 in UniProtKB:P70665.
N-terminal Early set domain associated with the catalytic domain of putative esterases. E or "early" set domains are associated with the catalytic domain of esterase at the N-terminal end. Esterases catalyze the hydrolysis of organic esters to release an alcohol or thiol and acid. The term esterase can be applied to enzymes that hydrolyze carboxylate, phosphate and sulphate esters, but is more often restricted to the first class of substrate. The N-terminal domain of esterase may be related to the immunoglobulin and/or fibronectin type III superfamilies. These domains are associated with different types of catalytic domains at either the N-terminal or C-terminal end and may be involved in homodimeric/tetrameric/dodecameric interactions. Members of this family include members of the alpha amylase family, sialidase, galactose oxidase, cellulase, cellulose, hyaluronate lyase, chitobiase, and chitinase, among others.

Early set domain associated with the catalytic domain of sugar utilizing enzymes at either the N or C terminus. The E or "early" set domains of sugar utilizing enzymes are associated with different types of catalytic domains at either the N-terminal or C-terminal end. These domains may be related to the immunoglobulin and/or fibronectin type III superfamilies. Members of this family include alpha amylase, sialidase, galactose oxidase, cellulase, cellulose, hyaluronate lyase, chitobiase, and chitinase. A subset of these members were recently identified as members of the CBM48 (Carbohydrate Binding Module 48) family. Members of the CBM48 family include pullulanase, maltooligosyl trehalose synthase, starch branching enzyme, glycogen branching enzyme, glycogen debranching enzyme, isoamylase, and the beta subunit of AMP-activated protein kinase.
N-terminal Early set domain, a glycogen binding domain, associated with the catalytic domain of AMP-activated protein kinase beta subunit. E or "early" set domains are associated with the catalytic domain of AMP-activated protein kinase beta subunit glycogen binding domain at the N-terminal end. AMPK is a metabolic stress sensing protein that senses AMP/ATP and has recently been found to act as a glycogen sensor as well. The protein functions as an alpha-beta-gamma heterotrimer. This N-terminal domain is the glycogen binding domain of the beta subunit. This domain is also a member of the CBM48 (Carbohydrate Binding Module 48) family whose members include pullulanase, maltooligosyl trehalose synthase, starch branching enzyme, glycogen branching enzyme, glycogen debranching enzyme, and isoamylase.
