Xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase (XET) C-terminus This family represents the C-terminus (approximately 60 residues) of plant xyloglucan endo-transglycosylase (XET). Xyloglucan is the predominant hemicellulose in the cell walls of most dicotyledons. With cellulose, it forms a network that strengthens the cell wall. XET catalyzes the splitting of xyloglucan chains and the linking of the newly generated reducing end to the non-reducing end of another xyloglucan chain, thereby loosening the cell wall. Note that all family members contain the pfam00722 domain.
