Glycosyl hydrolases are key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism. Family 31 comprises of enzymes that are, or similar to, alpha- galactosidases. This entry represents the 3rd beta sandwich domain.
This entry represents the first of three common domains found in Glycosyl hydrolase 31 family proteins. It has a galactose mutarotase superfamily fold.
Glycosyl hydrolases are key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism. Family 31 comprises of enzymes that are, or similar to, alpha- galactosidases. This entry corresponds to the second domain of family 31 enzymes and adopts a TIM-barrel fold.
α‑Glucosidase Maltase- Glucoamylase catalyses the digestion of starch. α‑Glucosidase inhibitors have been efficient in delaying glucose production, which is crucial for regulating postprandial blood glucose levels and can be used for therapeutic purposes to reduce the damage and complications in diabetics and obesity.
