Description

Maltohexaose is a polysaccharide formed by 6 units of glucose and can be metabolised inside the cell to a substrate-based inhibitor of fucosyltransferases. It can also be converted to GDP-2-deoxy-2-fluoro-L-fucose, a competitive inhibitor of α-1,3-fucosyltransferase. Matohexaose is used as acceptor for measuring the activity of 4-Alpha-Glucanotransferase.
