This enzyme hydrolyses an unsubstituted glucose unit linked by an alpha(1->6) bond to an alpha(1->4) glucose chain. The enzyme activity found in mammals and yeast is in a polypeptide chain containing two active centres. The other activity is similar to that of EC 2.4.1.25 (4-alpha-glucanotransferase), which acts on the glycogen phosphorylase limit dextrin chains to expose the single glucose residues, which the 6-alpha-glucosidase activity can then hydrolyse. Together, these two activities constitute the glycogen debranching system.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Saccharolobus solfataricus The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Bacteria, Archaea

the enzyme catalyzes both hydrolysis of alpha-1,6-glycosidic linkages and transglycosylation at relatively high (above 0.5 mM) substrate concentrations
Km-values: 31.1 mg/ml at pH 5.5, 75°C, in absence of DMSO. 88.0 mg/ml at pH 5.5, 75°C, in presence of DMSO. 92.3 mg/ml at pH 6.5, 75°C, in absence of DMSO. 345 mg/ml at pH 5.5, 75°C, in presence of DMSO
the enzyme may be involved in glycogen metabolism in debranching and rearranging the side chain of the glycogen by both alpha-1,6-hydrolase and alpha-1,6-transferase activity

native dimer, native tetramer and the tetramer in complex with acarbose ligand covalently bound to residue D363, occupying subsites -1 to -3. Protein exhibits two different active-site configurations depending on its oligomeric state. The N-terminus of one subunit is located at the active site of the other molecule, resulting in a reshaping of the active site in the tetramer. This is accompanied by a large shift in the flexible loop of amino acids 399-416, creating connected holes inside the tetramer
