Maltase is a biological catalyst used in digestion. Once starch has been broken down to maltose,maltase continues the chemical digestion and breaks the maltose down to glucose, ie a soluble, smaller molecule that can easily be absorbed.

∙ 10y agoMaltese is an enzyme that converts maltose into glucose. Upon production, the glucose can be either used by the human body or stored within the liver as animal starch or glycogen. Found in people, yeasts, bacteria and plants, Maltese is also a carbohydrate-digesting enzyme that is found naturally in sugars produced by the body when it breaks down starch.

What enzyme converts maltose to glucose?
Maltase
What enzyme break down maltose?
Maltase breaks down enzymes in the small intestine.
Which enzyme cannot generate glucose is it Lactase or Amylase or Maltase or Sucrase All of them?
its amylase
What is salivary maltase?
You might be referring to salivary amylase. Maltase is an enzyme produced by duodenum that breaks down the sugar maltose into glucose. Salivary amylase is an enzyme located in your saliva (there is also pancreatic amylase found in the pancreas). This enzyme breaks down carbohydrates (more specifically starch) which then can be absorbed in the small intestine.
How many functions does one enyme have?
One function. A enzyme is particular about it's substrate, so the enzyme can catalyze one reaction by lowering that reaction's activation energy.
What is the function of substrate?
Maltase is an enzyme which works on the substrate maltose. Maltose is a sugar consisting of two glucose subunits.
How many amino acids does maltase enzyme contain?
The number of amino acids (aa) varies with the source of the maltase enzyme. The maltase enzyme from E.coli has 678aa Rat has 953aa Mouse has 953aa Human has 914aa Yeast has 584aa
What enzyme converts maltose to glucose?
Maltase
What enzyme digests sugars?
Sucrase is the enzyme (called a disaccharidase) that digests sucrose, the major disaccharide in table sugar.
Maltase and sucrase is made in?
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
Which enzyme breaks down starch into glucose?
Amylase
What enzyme is used to make maltose?
Name of this enzyme is Maltese. It is present in the brush border of the lining of small intestine.
Where is the maltase enzyme located in the human body?
in the Ileum of the small intestine
What is meant by saying an enzyme action is specific?
An enzyme's action is specific...means: Lactase works on Lactose (milk sugar) Amylase only works on long chain carbohydrates Lipase only works on Lipids Maltase breaks down Maltose (another sugar)
Which enzyme can not generate Glucose is it Lactase Amylase Maltase Sucrase or all of them?
all of them
What is enzyme like amylase for malt?
Yes, maltase is the enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of the disaccharide maltose to the simple sugar glucose.
Is maltodextrin organic?
Yes. It is forme when two glucose molecules bond through dehydration synthesis. Since the monosaccharide glucose is organic, so is the disaccharide maltose.
