Kojibiose phosphorylase
Class of enzymes
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kojibiose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.230) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Thermoanaerobium brockii are kojibiose and orthophosphate (Pi). Its products are D-glucose and β-D-glucose 1-phosphate.[1][2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-alpha-D-glucosyl-D-glucose:phosphate beta-D-glucosyltransferase.[3]
