Gene information for MGAM (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8972
Official gene symbolMGAM
Full namemaltase-glucoamylase (alpha-glucosidase)
Aliases,MG,MGA,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes maltase-glucoamylase, which is a brush border membrane enzyme that plays a role in the final steps of digestion of starch. The protein has two catalytic sites identical to those of sucrase-isomaltase, but the proteins are only 59% homologous. Both are members of glycosyl hydrolase family 31, which has a variety of substrate specificities. [provided by RefSeq]
