FunFam 14: Glucoamylase 1

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Glucan 1,4-alpha-glucosidase. [EC: 3.2.1.3]
Hydrolysis of terminal (1->4)-linked alpha-D-glucose residues successively from non-reducing ends of the chains with release of beta-D- glucose.
  • Most forms of the enzyme can rapidly hydrolyze 1,6-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds when the next bond in the sequence is 1,4, and some preparations of this enzyme hydrolyze 1,6- and 1,3-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds in other polysaccharides.
  • This entry covers all such enzymes acting on polysaccharides more rapidly than on oligosaccharides.
  • EC 3.2.1.20 from mammalian intestine can catalyze similar reactions.
