Description

Glucosidases are glycoside hydrolase enzymes categorized under the EC number 3.2.1. The catalyze the cleavage of individual glucosyl residues from various glycoconjugates including alpha- or beta-linked polymers of glucose. glucosidases are targeted by alpha-glucosidase inhibitors to control diabetes mellitus type 2. Members include: Amylase (EC 3.2.1.1) is a digestive enzyme in mammals.-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.2) is a plant enzyme to break down starch.-Amylase (EC 3.2.1.3) is a digestive enzyme.Cellulase (EC 3.2.1.4) breaks down cellulose from plant material.Acid glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20) is associated with Glycogen storage disease type II.Lactase (EC 3.2.1.23) one member of the -galactosidase family, breaks down milk sugars, and its absence in adulthood causes lactose intolerance.Pullulanase (EC 3.2.1.41) has been used as a detergent.
