IUBMB Comments
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 [1,2]. Oligosaccharides with 1->6 linkages cannot function as donors, but can act as acceptors . Unlike EC 2.4.1.25, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase, this enzyme can transfer only a single glucosyl residue.

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
