α-dextrin endo-1,6-α-glucosidase

α-dextrin endo-1,6-α-glucosidase
An enzyme with action similar to that of isoamylase; it cleaves 1,6-α-glucosidic linkages in pullalan, amylopectin, and glycogen, and in α- and β-amylase limit-dextrins of amylopectin and glycogen. Cf.:isoamylase. SYN: limit dextrinase (1), pullulanase, R enzyme.
