- Galactose-6-sulfurylase
In
enzymology , a galactose-6-sulfurylase (EC number|2.5.1.5) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :Eliminates sulfate from the D-galactose 6-sulfate residues of porphyran, producing 3,6-anhydrogalactose residues
This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-galactose-6-sulfate:alkyltransferase (cyclizing). Other names in common use include porphyran sulfatase, galactose-6-sulfatase, and galactose 6-sulfatase.References
