The enzyme, studied in the fungus Aspergillus fumigatus, may participate in an inulin degradation pathway in which it converts the product of EC 4.2.2.17, inulin fructotransferase (DFA-I-forming), to inulobiose, though in vitro activity was higher in the direction of DFA-I formation.
History
EC 4.2.1.179 created 1992 as EC 3.2.1.134, transferred to EC 4.2.1.179 2021
