WHAT DOES MALTASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Maltase

Maltase is an enzyme that breaks down the disaccharide maltose. Maltase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to the simple sugar glucose. This enzyme is found in plants, bacteria, and yeast. Acid maltase deficiency is categorized into three separate types based on the age of onset of symptoms in the affected individual. 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. In humans, maltase will break down the alpha form of the maltose. Humans are only able to break down the alpha forms of carbohydrates.
