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 |
