a-1,4-glucan:a-1,4-glucan 6-glycosyltransferase was purified about 35-fold from rat-liver extracts. Removal of α-amylase could be accomplished by high-speed centrifugation of extracts from livers with high glycogen content. Enzyme action on amylopectin is optimum at pH 6.4 in 0.3 M citrate buffer. It requires salts for maximal activity, and is inhibited by molybdate, Mn2+, Mg2+ and sodium p-chloromercuribenzoate. Amylose and amylopectin ß-limit dextrin were also substrates for the liver branching enzyme. A method is described for the assay of the enzyme in the presence of α-amylase. © 1962.
