Protein
Cellobiose 2-epimerase
Organism
Ruminococcus albus
Function
Catalyzes the reversible epimerization of cellobiose to 4-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-D-mannose (Glc-Man). Can also epimerize cellotriose to Glc-Glc-Man, cellotetraose to Glc-Glc-Glc-Man, and lactose to epilactose.
Similarity
Belongs to the cellobiose 2-epimerase family.
