α-Glucosidase hydrolyzes terminal non-reducing (1→4)-linked α-glucose residues to release a single α-glucose molecule. [ 10 ] α-Glucosidase is a carbohydrate-hydrolase that releases α-glucose as opposed to β-glucose. β-Glucose residues can be released by glucoamylase, a functionally similar enzyme.
Chemically, the drug is an analog of the enzyme that is deficient in patients affected by Pompe disease, alpha-glucosidase. It is the first drug available to treat this disease. [2] It was approved for medical use in the United States in April 2006, as Myozyme [7] and in May 2010, as Lumizyme. [8]
Beta-glucosidase # EC 3.2.1.21 : is associated with Gaucher's disease: Lactase: EC 3.2.1.23 : one member of the β-galactosidase family, breaks down milk sugars, and its absence in adulthood causes lactose intolerance: Debranching enzyme # EC 3.2.1.33: in mammals, yeast and some bacteria, combines transferase and glucosidase activity in ...

Alpha-glucosidase inhibitors (AGIs) are oral anti-diabetic drugs used for diabetes mellitus type 2 that work by preventing the digestion of carbohydrates (such as starch and table sugar). They are found in raw plants/herbs such as cinnamon and bacteria (containing the inhibitor acarbose ).
In molecular biology, glycoside hydrolase family 31 is a family of glycoside hydrolases. Glycoside hydrolases EC 3.2.1. are a widespread group of enzymes that hydrolyse the glycosidic bond between two or more carbohydrates, or between a carbohydrate and a non-carbohydrate moiety.
Acid alpha-glucosidase, also called acid maltase, [5] is an enzyme that helps to break down glycogen in the lysosome. It is functionally similar to glycogen debranching enzyme, but is on a different chromosome, processed differently by the cell and is located in the lysosome rather than the cytosol. [6] In humans, it is encoded by the GAA gene. [5]
Maltase-glucoamylase is an alpha-glucosidase digestive enzyme. It consists of two subunits with differing substrate specificity. Recombinant enzyme studies have shown that its N-terminal catalytic domain has highest activity against maltose, while the C-terminal domain has a broader substrate specificity and activity against glucose oligomers.
