| UniProt functional annotation for P0DUB6 | |||
| UniProt code: P0DUB6. |
| Organism: | Homo sapiens (Human). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo. | |
| Function: | Calcium-binding enzyme that initiates starch digestion in the oral cavity (PubMed:12527308). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds, yielding a mixture of maltose, isomaltose, small amounts of glucose as well as small linear and branched oligosaccharides called dextrins (PubMed:12527308). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527308}. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=Endohydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides containing three or more (1->4)-alpha-linked D- glucose units.; EC=3.2.1.1; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527308}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=Ca(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29108; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15299664}; Note=Binds 1 Ca(2+) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15299664}; | |
| Cofactor: | Name=chloride; Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:17996; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15299664}; Note=Binds 1 Cl(-) ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12527308, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15299664}; | |
| Subunit: | Monomer. | |
| Subcellular location: | Secreted {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
