Starch synthase (maltosyl-transferring) (EC 2.4.99.16 alpha14-glucan:maltose-1-P maltosyltransferase GMPMT) is an enzyme with system name alpha-maltose 1-phosphate:(1->4)-alpha-D-glucan 4-alpha-D-maltosyltransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction alpha-maltose 1-phosphate + [(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl]n phosphate + [(1->4)-alpha-D-glucosyl]n+2The enzyme from the bacterium Mycobacterium smegmatis is specific for maltose.
