MeSH definition : An enzyme that hydrolyzes 1,6-alpha-glucosidic branch linkages in glycogen, amylopectin,
and their beta-limit dextrins. It is distinguished from pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41)
by its inability to attack pullulan and by the feeble action of alpha-limit dextrins.
It is distinguished from amylopectin 6-glucanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.69) by its action
on glycogen. With EC 3.2.1.69, it produces the activity called debranching enzyme.
EC 3.2.1.68.;
MeSH CAS label : glycogen 6-glucanohydrolase;
Registry Number MeSH : EC 3.2.1.68;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with amylase isoenzymes (index under AMYLASES (IM) ISOENZYMES (IM)
);
