Summary | This gene belongs to the alpha-glucosidase family, whose members encode enzymes that carry out hydrolysis of alpha-glucoside bonds of a variety of carbohydrates. The enzyme encoded by this gene uses the disaccharide trehalose as a highly specific substrate and converts it into two glucose molecules. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2013]. |
