In enzymology, a dextransucrase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction sucrose + (1,6-alpha-D-glucosyl)n \rightleftharpoons D-fructose + (1,6-alpha-D-glucosyl)n+1
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are sucrose and (1,6-alpha-D-glucosyl)n, whereas its two products are D-fructose and (1,6-alpha-D-glucosyl)n+1.
