 Alpha-glucosidase

Alpha-glucosidase (, "maltase", "glucoinvertase", "glucosidosucrase", "maltase-glucoamylase", "alpha-glucopyranosidase", "glucosidoinvertase", "alpha-D-glucosidase", "alpha-glucoside hydrolase", "alpha-1,4-glucosidase", "alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase") is a glucosidase located in the brush border of the small intestine that acts upon α(1→4) bonds.This is in contrast to beta-glucosidase.
