| Accepted name: |
1,6-α-D-mannosidase |
| Reaction: |
Hydrolysis of the (1→6)-linked α-D-mannose residues in α-D-Manp-(1→6)-D-Manp |
| Systematic name: |
(1→6)-α-mannosyl α-D-mannohydrolase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme is specific for (1→6)-linked mannobiose and has no activity towards any other linkages, or towards p-nitrophenyl-α-D-mannopyranoside or baker’s yeast mannan. It is strongly inhibited by Mn2+ but does not require Ca2+ or any other metal cofactor for activity. |
