EC 2.4.1.31

Accepted name: laminaribiose phosphorylase

Reaction: 3-β-D-glucosyl-D-glucose + phosphate = D-glucose + α-D-glucose 1-phosphate

Systematic name: 3-β-D-glucosyl-D-glucose:phosphate α-D-glucosyltransferase

Comments: Also acts on 1,3-β-D-oligoglucans. Differs in specificity from EC 2.4.1.30 (1,3-β-oligoglucan phosphorylase) and EC 2.4.1.97 (1,3-β-D-glucan phosphorylase).
