Phytase - Wikipedia
A phytase (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase) is any type of phosphatase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) – an indigestible, organic form of phosphorus that is found in many plant tissues, especially in grains and oil seeds – and releases a usable form of inorganic phosphorus.

A phytase (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate phosphohydrolase) is any type of phosphatase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate), an undigestible organic form of phosphorus that is found in grains and oil seeds, and releases a usable form of inorganic phosphorus (Mullaney et al., 2000a, b).
Phytase: The Feed Enzyme, an Overview | SpringerLink
2018年5月30日 · This chapter confers an overview of the food enzyme ‘phytase’ that mediates hydrolysis of phytic acid decoyed in food of plant origin. It emphasizes on the molecular classification, sources and production of phytase along with its practical applications....

2015年1月9日 · Phytase is one of the most important feed additive enzymes for monogastric animal, because it hydrolyzes the indigestible phytate in the cereal-based feedstock to release phosphate as an essential nutrient.
Phytase, a New Life for an “Old” Enzyme | Annual Reviews
Phytases are phosphohydrolytic enzymes that initiate stepwise removal of phosphate from phytate. Simple-stomached species such as swine, poultry, and fish require extrinsic phytase to digest phytate, the major form of phosphorus in plant-based feeds.
Phytase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Phytase is an enzyme that helps to break down phytate P (the main form of P in grains) allowing better absorption of grain P by poultry (and other monogastric animals such as swine) and reduces the need for addition of calcium phosphate supplements.
Molecule of the Month: Phytase - RCSB: PDB-101
Phytases are small, acid-stable enzymes that progressively break off the phosphate groups from phytic acid. Two similar types are commonly used as feed supplements: one from bacteria, shown here from PDB entry 1dkq, and one from mold, as seen in PDB entry 1ihp.
Phytase - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Phytase catalyzes the hydrolysis of phytic acid which is an indigestible organic form of phosphorus in grains and oil seeds. Nowadays, the phytase is used as an animal feed supplement to enhance the nutritive value of plant material by liberation of inorganic phosphate from phytic acid.
Structural and functional profile of phytases across the ...
Phytase enzymes are a crucial component of the natural phosphorus cycle, as they help make phosphate bioavailable by releasing it from phytate, the primary reservoir of organic phosphorus in grain and soil. Phytases also comprise a significant segment of the agricultural enzyme market, used primarily as an animal feed additive.
