5.1.3.11

Accepted name:

cellobiose epimerase

Reaction:

cellobiose = 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannose

Glossary:

cellobiose = 4-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucose

Systematic name:

cellobiose 2-epimerase

Comments:

The enzyme catalyses the interconversion between D-glucose and D-mannose residues at the reducing end of β-1,4-linked disaccharides by epimerizing the hydroxyl group at the C-2 position of the glucose moiety.
