An enzyme derived from arbutus or strawberry trees, possibly involved in metabolic processes or used in biochemical research.
Combining 'arbutus' (the plant source) with the enzyme suffix -ase. Enzyme nomenclature typically follows the substrate or source of the enzyme.
Enzyme names following the -ase pattern tell you exactly what they do—this one's origin is plants, but the enzymatic function is what would matter to a biochemist studying it.
