In enzymology, a raffinose-raffinose alpha-galactosyltransferase (EC 2.4.1.166) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 2 raffinose 1F-alpha-D-galactosylraffinose + sucrose
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, raffinose, and two products, and sucrose.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, to be specific the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is raffinose:raffinose alpha-D-galactosyltransferase. Other names in common use include raffinose (raffinose donor) galactosyltransferase, raffinose:raffinose alpha-galactosyltransferase, and raffinose-raffinose alpha-galactotransferase.
