Nomenclature
EC number
2.4.1.99
Systematic name
sucrose:sucrose 1′-β-d-fructosyltransferase
Recommended name
sucrose:sucrose fructosyltransferase
Synonyms
1-SST
SST
fructosyltransferase, sucrose 1F-
sucrose-sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase
sucrose:sucrose 1-fructosyltransferase
Additional information (the enzymes EC 2.4.1.9 and EC 2.4.1.99 have over-lapping substrate specificities, each being able to use 2 sucrose molecules. When the predominant product is 1-kestose the enzyme is classified as EC 2.4.1.99, when the predominant products are higher fructooligosaccharides the enzyme is classified as EC 2.4.1.9)
