Description
Sucrose phosphorylase (E.C. 2.4.1.7) is an important enzyme in the metabolism of sucrose and regulation of other metabolic intermediates. Sucrose phosphorylase is in the class of hexosyltransferases. More specifically it has been placed in the retaining glycoside hydrolases family although it catalyzes a transglycosidation rather than hydrolysis. Sucrose phosphorylase catalyzes the conversion of sucrose to D-fructose and α-D-glucose-1-phosphate. It has been shown in multiple experiments that the enzyme catalyzes this conversion by a double displacement mechanism.
Abbr
Sucrose Phosphorylase, Recombinant
Applications
Sucrose phosphorylase has been used in a study to assess the enzymatic synthesis of stable, odorless, and powdered furanone glucosides. Sucrose phosphorylase has also been used in a study to investigate the novel transglucosylating reaction with carboxylic compounds.
Product Overview
Sucrose phosphorylase catalyzes the reversible conversion of sucrose (α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,2-β-D-fructofuranoside) and phosphate into D-fructose and α-D-glucose 1-phosphate.
