1,6-alpha-D-mannosidase

Class of enzymes 1,6-alpha-D-mannosidase 3.2.1.163 In enzymology, a 1,6-alpha-D-mannosidase (3.2.1.163) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction of separating the 1,6-linked alpha-D-mannose residues in alpha-D-Manp-(1->6)-D-Manp. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1,6-alpha-mannosyl alpha-D-mannohydrolase.
