endo-1,3-β-Xylanase, EC 3.2.1.32 is an enzyme with systematic name 3-β-D-xylan xylanohydrolase. It catalyses the following chemical reaction:

Random endohydrolysis of (1→3)-β-D-glycosidic linkages in (1→3)-β-D-xylans

The enzyme is found mostly in marine bacteria, which break down the β(1,3)-xylan found in the cell wall of some green and red algae. It produces mainly xylobiose, xylotriose and xylotetraose.
