Type: | Family | Name: | Glycoside hydrolase, family 77 |
Description: | 4-alpha-glucanotransferases () belong to the glycoside hydrolase family 77 . They transfer a segment of a (1,4)-alpha-D-glucan to a new 4-position in an acceptor, which may be glucose or (1,4)-alpha-D-glucan []. 4-alpha-glucanotransferases from prokaryotes are known as amylomaltases and those from plants, including algae, are known as disproportionating enzymes (DPE). Both belong to the disproportionating family []. | Short Name: | Glyco_hydro_77 |
