Aldose 1-epimerase
In enzymology, an aldose 1-epimerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, alpha-D-glucose, and one product, beta-D-glucose.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those racemases and epimerases acting on carbohydrates and derivatives. The systematic name of this enzyme class is aldose 1-epimerase. Other names in common use include mutarotase, and aldose mutarotase. This enzyme participates in glycolysis and gluconeogenesis.
