Sucrose phosphorylase

UniProtKB accession:  A0ZZH6

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of sucrose into alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate (Glc1P) and D-fructose (PubMed:14740189, PubMed:20691225). Is involved in sucrose degradation. Also displays transglucosylation activity in vitro, by transferring the glucosyl moiety of Glc1P to a broad range of monomeric sugars, such as D- and L-arabinose, D- and L-arabitol, and xylitol (PubMed:14740189).
