Glucan 1,6-α-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.70, exo-1,6-β-glucosidase, glucodextrinase, glucan α-1,6-D-glucohydrolase) is an enzyme with systematic name glucan 6-α-D-glucohydrolase.[1][2][3] It catalyses the hydrolysis of (1→6)-α-D-glucosidic linkages in (1→6)-α-D-glucans and derived oligosaccharides

Hydrolysis is accompanied by inversion at C-1, so that new reducing ends are released in the β-configuration.
