is an enzyme that breaks down the disaccharide maltose. [1][clarification needed]
In most cases, it is equivalent to alpha-glucosidase, but the term "maltase" emphasizes the disaccharide nature of the substrate from which glucose is cleaved, and "alpha-glucosidase" emphasizes the bond, whether the substrate is a disaccharide or polysaccharide[

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.
What substance is acted on by maltase?
Maltase is an enzyme that acts on the compound maltose. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice and catalyzes maltose into glucose.
What is the pH of maltase?
6.1-6.8
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
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.
Are catalyse Maltese and sucrose enzymes?
All enzymes end in -ase. Their substrate is the base for the enzyme. For example: the sugar maltose is acted on by the enzyme maltase. Sucrose, by sucrase.
What does maltase produce?
Two glucose, because maltose is two glucose join together
How do enzymes catalyse reactions?
Enzymes catalyse biochemical reaction by lowering the activation energy.
What is the function of the enzyme catalyse?
is to catalyse or increase the rate of reaction without any change in itself .
What conclusion can be drawn from the experiment when amylase and maltase were added to a maltose solution?
Maltase digests only maltose
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.
What is substrate of maltase?
maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose. Substrate = maltose Product = glucose
What substance is acted on by maltase?
Maltase is an enzyme that acts on the compound maltose. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice and catalyzes maltose into glucose.
Can maltase drink milk?
Yes
What is the temperature of maltase?
35 to 40ºC
What is the pH of maltase?
6.1-6.8
Is Maltese a polysaccharide?
Is Maltase a polysaccharide
