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.
the enzyme belongs to the glycsoylhydrolase family GH4. Glycosyl hydrolase family 4, GH4 is exceptional among the 114 families in this enzyme superfamily. Members of GH4 exhibit unusual cofactor requirements for activity, and an essential cysteine residue is present at the active site

alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase

an essential cysteine residue is present at the active site. Members of GH4 employ a unique catalytic mechanism for cleavage of the glycosidic bond. GH4 single or double-displacement mechanism
