Gene: MGAM
Alternate names for this Gene: MG|MGA
Gene Summary: This 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.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
Location in Chromosome : 7q34
Description of this Gene: maltase-glucoamylase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
