It is a dual-function enzyme with two GH31 domains, one serving as the isomaltase, the other as a sucrose alpha-glucosidase. [5] [6] [7] It has preferential expression in the apical membranes of enterocytes. [8] The enzyme’s purpose is to digest dietary carbohydrates such as starch, sucrose and isomaltose. By further processing the broken ...
Maltase-glucoamylase which is coded on the MGAM gene plays a role in the digestion of starches. It is due to this enzyme in humans that starches of plant origin are able to digested. [4] Sucrase-isomaltase which is coded on the SI gene is essential for the digestion of carbohydrates including starch, sucrose and isomaltose.
Sucrose intolerance or genetic sucrase-isomaltase deficiency (GSID) is the condition in which sucrase-isomaltase, an enzyme needed for proper metabolism of sucrose (sugar) and starch (e.g., grains), is not produced or the enzyme produced is either partially functional or non-functional in the small intestine. All GSID patients lack fully ...
One-way glass (4) used in a teleprompter. A one-way mirror is typically used as an apparently normal mirror in a brightly lit room, with a much darker room on the other side. People on the brightly lit side see their own reflection—it looks like a normal mirror. People on the dark side see through it—it looks like a transparent window. The ...
The product of the enzymatic digestion of alpha-limit dextrin by isomaltase is maltose. Isomaltase helps amylase to digest alpha-limit dextrin to produce maltose. The human sucrase-isomaltase is a dual-function enzyme with two GH31 domains, one serving as the isomaltase, the other as a sucrose alpha-glucosidase .

A step in one method of preparing digestion-resistant maltodextrins is roasting the plant starch in acid conditions. [3] The process breaks the starch molecules into small units, which then recombine with different, more digestion-resistant bonds. [3] [7] Enzymes can be used to break starches apart as an alternative to roasting. [7]
Many mammals have seen great expansions in the copy number of the amylase gene. These duplications allow for the pancreatic amylase AMY2 to re-target to the salivary glands, allowing animals to detect starch by taste and to digest starch more efficiently and in higher quantities. This has happened independently in mice, rats, dogs, pigs, and ...
