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.

probable physiological role of the enzyme in the utilization of exogenous glycoproteins and/or in the turnover of the organisms own glycoproteins, overview
preferred substrate, the enzyme shows strict glucose substrate specificity hydrolyzing maltose, as well as longer alpha-1,4-linked maltooligosaccharides

gene aglA, expression analysis and mapping of transcription start sites, the gene is clustered in the genome and shows colinear orientation and a small intergenic space with gene manA encoding alpha-mannosidase, the genes are independently transcribed, both producing leaderless mRNA, phylogenetic tree, overexpression in Escherichia coli strain BL21, subcloning in Escherichia coli strain XL-1 Blue
