EC 2.4.1.231

Accepted name: α,α-trehalose phosphorylase (configuration-retaining)

Reaction: α,α-trehalose + phosphate = α-D-glucose + α-D-glucose 1-phosphate

Other name(s): trehalose phosphorylase[ambiguous]

Systematic name: α,α-trehalose:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase

Comments: Unlike EC 2.4.1.64, α,α-trehalose phosphorylase, this enzyme retains its anomeric configuration. Vanadate is a strong competitive inhibitor of this reversible reaction.
