13 Korrigan Function Sitosterol Cellodextrin beta-glucoside is Required for Chain Initiation. Korrigan, a β-1,4-glucanase, transfers the cellodextrin chain from the sitosterol glycoside to the CES subunits, which uses it as primer for the addition of further β-d-glucose molecules. Korrigan = celtic, meaning dwarf
