The enzyme 6-phospho-β-glucosidase () catalyzes the following reaction:
6-phospho-β-D-glucosyl-(1,4)-D-glucose + H2O D-glucose + D-glucose 6-phosphate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 6-phospho-β-D-glucosyl-(1,4)-D-glucose glucohydrolase. Other names in common use include phospho-β-glucosidase A, phospho-β-glucosidase, and phosphocellobiase.
