DE   glucan 1,4-alpha-maltohexaosidase.
AN   exo-maltohexaohydrolase.
AN   G6-amylase.
AN   maltohexaose-producing amylase.
CA   Hydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in amylaceous
CA   polysaccharides, to remove successive maltohexaose residues from the non-
CA   reducing chain ends.
CC   -!- cf. EC 3.2.1.2, which removes successive maltose residues;
CC       EC 3.2.1.3, which removes successive glucose residues; EC 3.2.1.60,
CC       which removes successive maltotetraose residues and EC 3.2.1.116,
CC       which removes successive maltotriose residues.
CC   -!- The products have the alpha-configuration.
