UniProtKB description:  Hydrolyzes carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) (PubMed:24848382, PubMed:28156112). Hydrolyzes also lichenan and barley beta-1,4-D-glucan. CMC is hydrolyzed majorily to cellobiose (G2), cellotriose (G3) and cellotetraose (G4). Cellohexaose (G6) is hydrolyzed to G4 and G2 with traces of G3. Cellopentaose (G5) is completely hydrolyzed to G2 and G3, and G4 is partially hydrolyzed to G2. Does not hydrolyze G2 or G3. Does not hydrolyze crystalline cellulose, soluble starch, xylan, mannan or laminarin (PubMed:28156112).
