In enzymology, a 6G-fructosyltransferase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are [1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-]m+1 alpha-D-glucopyranoside and [1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-]n+1 alpha-D-glucopyranoside, whereas its 4 products are [1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-]m alpha-D-glucopyranoside, [1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-]n+1, beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->6)-alpha-D-glucopyranoside (m > 0; n >=, and 0.
This enzyme belongs to the family of glycosyltransferases, specifically the hexosyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1F-oligo[beta-D-fructofuranosyl-(2->1)-]sucrose 6G-beta-D-fructotransferase. Other names in common use include fructan:fructan 6G-fructosyltransferase, 1F(1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl)m, sucrose:1F(1-beta-D-fructofuranosyl)<sub>n</sub>sucrose, 6G-fructosyltransferase, 6G-FFT, 6G-FT, and 6G-fructotransferase.
