SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
pullulan 6-alpha-glucanohydrolase
Different from EC 3.2.1.142 (limit dextrinase) in its action on glycogen, and its rate of hydrolysis of limit dextrins. Its action on amylopectin is complete. Maltose is the smallest sugar that it can release from an alpha-(1->6)-linkage.
