Abstract
The present invention relates to a novel ginsenoside glycosidase protein derived from the genus, the protein having an activity of converting protopanaxadiol (PPD)-type saponins into highly active substances, which can be absorbed inside the body, by selective hydrolysis of a particular bond of ginsenoside. More specifically, the present invention relates to an amino acid sequence of the protein, a nucleic acid sequence encoding the protein, a recombinant vector comprising the nucleic acid sequence, and a transformant transformed with the vector, and a method for producing ginsenoside glycosidase derived from the genusby culturing the transformant, a method for converting PPD-type major saponins into the minor saponin forms using the protein, and a composition for converting PPD-type saponins into soluble saponins, comprising the protein as an active component.
