Exo-(1-4)-α-D-glucan Lyase

The enzyme exo-(1→4)-α-D-glucan lyase (, ''α-(1→4)-glucan 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose eliminase'', ''α-1,4-glucan exo-lyase'', ''α-1,4-glucan lyase'', ''GLase'') is an enzyme with systematic name (1→4)-α-D-glucan exo-4-lyase (1,5-anhydro-D-fructose-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: linear α-glucan = (''n''-1) 1,5-anhydro-D-fructose + D-glucose

The enzyme catalyses the sequential degradation of (1→4)-α-D-glucans from the non-reducing end.
