The two substrates of this enzyme are cellobiose and phosphate (Pi). Its products are α-D-glucose-1-phosphate and D-glucose.[1] The enzyme has been characterised from the bacteria Ruminococcus flavefaciens[1] and Clostridium thermocellum.[2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cellobiose:phosphate alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.[3]
