Name
maltose epimerase
Class
Isomerases;
Racemases and epimerases;
Acting on carbohydrates and derivatives
Sysname
maltose 1-epimerase
Reaction(IUBMB)
alpha-maltose = beta-maltose [RN:R07319]
Reaction(KEGG)
R07319
Substrate
alpha-maltose [CPD:C00897]
Product
beta-maltose [CPD:C01971]
Comment
The enzyme catalyses the interconversion of alpha and beta anomers of maltose more effectively than those of disaccharides such as lactose and cellobiose.
