2.4.1.97 |
| Accepted name: |
1,3-β-D-glucan phosphorylase |
| Reaction: |
[(1→3)-β-D-glucosyl]n + phosphate = [(1→3)-β-D-glucosyl]n-1 + α-D-glucose 1-phosphate |
| Other name(s): |
laminarin phosphoryltransferase; 1,3-β-D-glucan:orthophosphate glucosyltransferase; 1,3-β-D-glucan:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase |
| Systematic name: |
(1→3)-β-D-glucan:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase |
| Comments: |
Acts on a range of β-1,3-oligoglucans, and on glucans of laminarin type. Different from EC 2.4.1.30 (1,3-β-oligoglucan phosphorylase) and EC 2.4.1.31 (laminaribiose phosphorylase). |
