IUBMB Comments

Most forms of the enzyme can also rapidly hydrolyse (1→6)-α-D-glucosidic bonds when the next bond in the sequence is (1→4), and some preparations of this enzyme hydrolyse both (1→6)- and (1→3)-α-D-glucosidic bonds in other polysaccharides. This entry covers all such enzymes with configuration-inverting activity that act on polysaccharides more rapidly than on oligosaccharides. EC 3.2.1.20 α-glucosidase, from mammalian intestine, can catalyse similar reactions but prefers oligosaccharides and retains the anomeric configuration of the release glucosyl units.

The enzyme appears in viruses and cellular organisms
