Sysname
sucrose glucosylmutase
Reaction(IUBMB)
sucrose = 6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructofuranose [RN:
R00810 R06217 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructofuranose [CPD:
C01742 ]
Comment
The enzyme simultaneously produces isomaltulose (6-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose) and smaller amounts of trehalulose (1-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-beta-D-fructose) from sucrose.
