α-Glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20, (systematic name α-D-glucoside glucohydrolase) is a glucosidase located in the brush border of the small intestine that acts upon α(1→4) bonds:
- Hydrolysis of terminal, non-reducing (1→4)-linked α-D-glucose residues with release of D-glucose
This is in contrast to EC 3.2.1.21 β-glucosidase.
