MeSH Heading: Glucan 1,4-alpha-Glucosidase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.277.450.420.375
Unique ID: D005087
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005087
Scope Note: An enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of terminal 1,4-linked alpha-D-glucose residues successively from non-reducing ends of polysaccharide chains with the release of beta-glucose. It is also able to hydrolyze 1,6-alpha-glucosidic bonds when the next bond in sequence is 1,4.
