maltase is found in intestinal juice and hydrolyzes maltose to glucose.
Substrate = maltose Product = glucose
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.
maltose, its products are glucose, the organ it is used in is duodenum, its optimal pH is 6.1-6.8, and its optimal temperature is 35-40 degrees Celsius.
Two glucose, because maltose is two glucose join together
really
Maltase is an enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine.
Maltase is an enzyme which works on the substrate maltose. Maltose is a sugar consisting of two glucose subunits.
2 glucose
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[

Some thing then ase. So if the substrate was called B the enzyme would B+ase, Base. Or substrate Z, the enzyme would be Z+ase, Zase. Some examples, amylase, maltase, catalase, sucrase. That is the most common naming, but it is not ALWAYS the case.

Sucrase is the enzyme (called a disaccharidase) that digests sucrose, the major disaccharide in table sugar.
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.
Maltase digests only maltose
Name of this enzyme is Maltese. It is present in the brush border of the lining of small intestine.
Maltase is an enzyme that acts on the compound maltose. It is present in saliva and pancreatic juice and catalyzes maltose into glucose.
