Superfamily glycosyl hydrolase (family 31)
Functional Family Oligosaccharide 4-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase

Enzyme Information

2.4.1.161
Oligosaccharide 4-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.
based on mapping to UniProt B3PEE6
Transfers the non-reducing terminal alpha-D-glucose residue from a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan to the 4-position of a free glucose or of a glucosyl residue at the non-reducing terminus of a (1->4)-alpha-D-glucan, thus bringing about the rearrangement of oligosaccharides.
-!- The enzyme acts on amylose, amylopectin, glycogen and maltooligosaccharides. -!- No detectable free glucose is formed, indicating the enzyme does not act as a hydrolase. -!- The enzyme from the bacterium Cellvibrio japonicus has the highest activity with maltotriose as a donor, and also accepts maltose, while the enzyme from amoeba does not accept maltose. -!- Oligosaccharides with 1->6 linkages cannot function as donors, but can act as acceptors. -!- Unlike EC 2.4.1.25, this enzyme can transfer only a single glucosyl residue.
