Glucan 1,4-alpha-maltohexaosidase

Glucan 1,4-α-maltohexaosidase (, exo-maltohexaohydrolase, 1,4-α- D -glucan maltohexaohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name 4-α- D -glucan maltohexaohydrolase. It catalyses the hydrolysis of (1→4)-α- D -glucosidic linkages in amylaceous polysaccharides, to remove successive maltohexaose residues from the non-reducing chain ends

The products have the α-configuration.
