ENTRY EC 3.2.1.94
NAME Glucan 1,6-alpha-isomaltosidase
Exo-isomaltohydrolase
Isomalto-dextranase
CLASS Hydrolases
Glycosidases
Hydrolysing O-glycosyl compounds
SYSNAME 1,6-alpha-D-Glucan isomaltohydrolase
REACTION Hydrolysis of 1,6-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides
so as to remove successive isomaltose units from the non-reducing
ends of the chains
SUBSTRATE Polysaccharide
H2O
PRODUCT Isomaltose
COMMENT Optimum activity is on those 1,6-alpha-D-glucans coantaining 6, 7
and 8 glucose units; those containing 3, 4 and 5 glucose units
are hydolysed at slower rate.
