In enzymology, a maltose α-D-glucosyltransferase (EC 5.4.99.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- maltose [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] alpha,alpha-trehalose
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, maltose, and one product, alpha,alpha-trehalose.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring other groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is maltose alpha-D-glucosylmutase. Other names in common use include trehalose synthase, and maltose glucosylmutase. This enzyme participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.
