IPR006407 is a 1,4-alpha-glucan-branching enzyme, GlgB.
<p>This entry represents the glycogen branching enzyme, GlgB, which is responsible for the transfer of chains of approximately seven alpha(1,4)-linked glucosyl residues to other similar chains (in new alpha-(1,6) linkages) in the biosynthesis of glycogen [[cite:PUB00027652]]. The branching enzyme is responsible for the degree of alpha(1,6) branch linkages found in polysaccharides [[cite:PUB00027653]].</p>
This description is obtained from EB-eye REST.
GO predictions are based solely on the InterPro-to-GO mappings published by EMBL-EBI, which are in turn based on the mapping of predicted domains to the InterPro dataset. The InterPro-to-GO mapping was last updated on , while the GO metadata was last updated on .
