Amylopectin

Synonyms or meaning of Amylopectin

Amylopectin is a type of plant starch that is characterized by its branched structure. It is a polymer that contains both α-(1,4)- and α-(1,6)-glycosidic linkages. The α-(1,4)-glycosidic linkages form the linear parts of the amylopectin molecule, while the α-(1,6)-glycosidic linkages create the branches. This branched structure allows for the rapid release of glucose units during digestion, making amylopectin an efficient source of energy.
