Characteristics of the protein coding sequence

Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence

Sucrose isomerase

Biological function

Sucrose isomerases (SI) convert sucrose into varying isomers. The SI described here converts sucrose into its isomer isomaltulose (brand name palatinose, 6-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-D-fructose).
