The enzyme maltose-6′-phosphate glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.122) catalyzes the following chemical reaction:
- maltose 6′-phosphate + H2O D-glucose + D-glucose 6-phosphate
It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. It participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
Nomenclature[edit]
The systematic name of this enzyme class is maltose-6′-phosphate 6-phosphoglucohydrolase. This enzyme is also called phospho-α-glucosidase.
Structural studies[edit]
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code 1U8X.
