EC 2.3.1.79 Details
EC number
2.3.1.79
Accepted name
maltose O-acetyltransferase
Reaction
acetyl-CoA + maltose = CoA + 6-O-acetyl-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose
Other name(s)
maltose transacetylase, maltose O-acetyltransferase, MAT
Systematic name
acetyl-CoA:maltose O-acetyltransferase
CAS registry number
81295-47-8
Comment
Not identical with EC 2.3.1.18, galactoside O-acetyltransferase. The acetyl group is added exclusively to the C6 position of glucose and to the C6 position of the non-reducing glucose residue of maltose [3]. Other substrates of this enzyme are glucose, which is a better substrate than maltose [2], and mannose and frucose, which are poorer substrates than maltose [2]. Isopropyl-β-thio-galactose, which is a good substrate for EC 2.3.1.118 is a poor substrate for this enzyme [3].
