| Accepted Name | |
|---|---|
| Alternansucrase. | |
| Alternative Name(s) | |
| Sucrose-1,6(3)-alpha-glucan 6(3)-alpha-glucosyltransferase. | |
| Sucrose:1,6-, 1,3-alpha-D-glucan 3-alpha- and 6-alpha-D- glucosyltransferase. | |
| Reaction catalysed | |
| Transfers alternately an alpha-D-glucosyl residue from sucrose to the 6-position and the 3-position of the non-reducing terminal residue of an alpha-D-glucan, thus producing a glucan having alternating alpha-(1->6)-and alpha-(1->3)-linkages | |
| Comment(s) | |
| The product, which has quite different properties from other dextrans, has been called alternan. | |
