---|---|
Synonyms: | sucrose-1,6(3)-alpha-glucan 6(3)-alpha-glucosyltransferase activity, sucrose:1,6(1,3)-alpha-D-glucan 6(3)-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase activity, sucrose:1,6-, 1,3-alpha-D-glucan 3-alpha- and 6-alpha-D-glucosyltransferase activity |
Definition: | Catalysis of the transfer of an alpha-D-glucosyl residue from sucrose to alternately the 6-position and the 3-position of the non-reducing terminal residue of an alpha-D-glucan, thus producing a glucan having alternating alpha-1,6- and alpha-1,3-linkages. |
