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