Alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20 maltase glucoinvertase glucosidosucrase maltase-glucoamylase alpha-glucopyranosidase glucosidoinvertase alpha-D-glucosidase alpha-glucoside hydrolase alpha-14-glucosidase alpha-D-glucoside glucohydrolase) is a glucosidase that acts upon 14-alpha bonds. This is in contrast to beta-glucosidase. Alpha-glucosidase breaks down starch and disaccharides to glucose.
