Enzyme Commission Number
EC 3.2.1.3
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products. Well-defined strains can be also provided for our clients to manufacture fermented products in a cost-effective way.
Features
Ready-to-use product, accelerating research progress, enhancing application performance.
Synonyms
glucoamylase; amyloglucosidase; γ-amylase; lysosomal α-glucosidase; acid maltase; exo-1,4-α-glucosidase; glucose amylase; γ-1,4-glucan glucohydrolase; acid maltase; 1,4-α-D-glucan glucohydrolase
Function
Most forms of the enzyme can rapidly hydrolyse 1,6-α-D-glucosidic bonds when the next bond in the sequence is 1,4, and some preparations of this enzyme hydrolyse 1,6- and 1,3-α-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 α-glucosidase, from mammalian intestine, can catalyse similar reactions.
Applications

Description
It is a fungal Glucoamylase enzyme derived from a selected strain of Aspergillus niger. The enzyme is a 1, 4- alpha-D-glucan glucohydrolase (E.C. 3.2.1.3) and is commonly referred to as Glucoamylase or Amyloglucosidase. It is an exoamylase that catalyzes the release of successive glucose units from non-reducing ends of dextrin and oligosaccharides chain by hydrolyzing both linear (1, 4-+-D) and branched (1, 6-+-D) glucosidic linkages. BioConvert – ACGA is used to saccharify liquefied starch from various sources such as corn, wheat, milo, sorghum, tapioca, barley, rice & potatoes. The resultant products are glucose rich syrups.
