1,3-beta-galactosyl-N-acetylhexosamine phosphorylase

Class of enzymes 1,3-beta-galactosyl-N-acetylhexosamine phosphorylase 2.4.1.211 0050500 1,3-beta-galactosyl-N-acetylhexosamine phosphorylase (2.4.1.211) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 60% Q27103272 lacto-N-biose Pi galactose 1-phosphate + Q27225758 N-acetyl-D-glucosamine The two substrates of this enzyme characterised from Bifidobacterium bifidum are lacto-N-biose (β-D-galactopyranosyl-(1->3)-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine) and orthophosphate (Pi). Its products are galactose 1-phosphate and N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.Derensy-Dron D, Krzewinski F, Brassart C, Bouquelet S Beta-1,3-galactosyl-N-acetylhexosamine phosphorylase from Bifidobacterium bifidum DSM 20082: characterization, partial purification and relation to mucin degradation (Pt 1) Biotechnol.
