maltose metabolic process
Definition
Target type: biologicalprocess
The chemical reactions and pathways involving the disaccharide maltose (4-O-alpha-D-glucopyranosyl-D-glucopyranose), an intermediate in the catabolism of glycogen and starch. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732]
Maltose metabolic process is the breakdown of the disaccharide maltose into glucose monomers. This process begins with the hydrolysis of the glycosidic bond linking the two glucose molecules in maltose, catalyzed by the enzyme maltase. Maltase is found in the brush border of the small intestine in humans and other mammals. Once maltose is hydrolyzed into two glucose molecules, these monomers can be absorbed into the bloodstream and used for energy production. The breakdown of maltose is a crucial step in the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, as it allows for the utilization of this energy source by the body. Maltose metabolic process is also important for the synthesis of glycogen, a storage form of glucose. '
