Product Information

• Name: Maltoundecaose
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: Maltoundecaose is a glycogen storage molecule found in barley and other plants. Maltoundecaose is synthesized from maltotetraose by the enzyme isoamylase, which cleaves the alpha-1,4 glycosidic linkage between two glucose molecules. Maltoundecaose can be hydrolyzed by the enzyme maltodextrin phosphorylase to form maltotriose and glucose. Maltotetraose is synthesized from sucrose by UDP-glucose pyrophosphorylase. The enzyme has been shown to have a mutation that leads to an increase in activity, which may be due to its autocatalytic nature. Maltotetraose also has three glucosidic linkages, which are formed between two glucose molecules and one of four different residues: dodecyl, hydroxymethylpentadecyl, octadecyl or hexadecyl. Maltotetraose can be hydrolyzed by
