Identification
Name:Maltohexaose
DescriptionMaltohexaose is hexasaccaride or more specifically a hexasaccharide comprised of six D-glucose residues connected by alpha(1->4) linkages. It is a substrate for energy metabolism and carbon for E. coli. Maltohexaose is imported into the cell via the maltooligosaccharide-specific LamB-channel of Escherichia coli (also called maltoporin). It is degraded by alpha amylase.

Enzymes

General function:
Involved in phosphorylase activity
Specific function:
Phosphorylase is an important allosteric enzyme in carbohydrate metabolism. Enzymes from different sources differ in their regulatory mechanisms and in their natural substrates. However, all known phosphorylases share catalytic and structural properties
