A debranching enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of glycogen [1]. There are two main groups of debranching enzymes, and they are separated according to their activity [1]. The first group, consisting of pullulanase and isoamylases which only possess one function α-1,6-glycosidase activity [1]. Whereas the second group consists of glycogen debranching enzymes which possess two functions, both α-1,6-glycosidase and α-1,4-transferase activity [1].
