Branched-dextran exo-1,2-alpha-glucosidase
class of enzymes
Branched-dextran exo-1,2-α-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.115, dextran 1,2-α-glucosidase, dextran α-1,2 debranching enzyme, 1,2-α-D-glucosyl-branched-dextran 2-glucohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name (1→2)-α-D-glucosyl-branched-dextran 2-glucohydrolase. It catalyses the hydrolysis of (1→2)-α-D-glucosidic linkages at the branch points of dextrans and related polysaccharides, producing free D-glucose.
This enzyme does not hydrolyse disaccharides or oligosaccharides containing linear 1,2-α-glucosidic linkages.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Branched-dextran exo-1,2-alpha-glucosidase” as class of enzymes. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as class of enzymes. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 7, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q10897703. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
