In enzymology a cellobiose phosphorylase (EC 2.4.1.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactioncellobiose + phosphate alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate + D-glucoseThus the two substrates of this enzyme are cellobiose and phosphate whereas its two products are alpha-D-glucose 1-phosphate and D-glucose.This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is cellobiose:phosphate alpha-D-glucosyltransferase.
