Starch synthase (maltosyl-transferring) (EC 2.4.99.16, alpha1,4-glucan:maltose-1-P maltosyltransferase, GMPMT) is an enzyme with systematic name alpha-maltose 1-phosphate:(1->4)-alpha-D-glucan 4-alpha-D-maltosyltransferase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

alpha-maltose 1-phosphate + [(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl]n [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] phosphate + [(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl]n+2

The enzyme from the bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis is specific for maltose.
