This single entry covers a group of enzymes whose specificity is directed mainly towards the exohydrolysis of (1->4)-alpha-glucosidic linkages, and that hydrolyse oligosaccharides rapidly, relative to polysaccharide, which are hydrolysed relatively slowly, or not at all. The intestinal enzyme also hydrolyses polysaccharides, catalysing the reactions of EC 3.2.1.3 glucan 1,4-alpha-glucosidase and, more slowly, hydrolyses (1->6)-alpha-D-glucose links.

LITERATURE
Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing (1->4)-linked alpha-D-glucose residues with release of D-glucose
the enzyme prefers short substrates, e.g. maltose and maltotriose, to longer substrates, and hydrolyzes alpha-1,4-glucosidic linkages, but also acts on alpha-1,2-, alpha-1,3-, and alpha-1,6-glucosidic linkages, the catalytic site contains three subsites with different affinities

the extracellular enzyme is hyperglycosylated and contains 88% carbohydrate, mainly N-glycosylation, overview, deglycosylation decreases the heat stability and susceptibility to proteolysis
