trehalase
Sign in to saveTrehalase enzymes are hydrolytic glycosidases, produced by most forms of life (except mammals), which catalyze the reduction of trehalose (α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,1-α-D-glucopyranoside) - a non-reducing sugar and important storage carbohydrate - into glucose.

Trehalase enzymes are hydrolytic glycosidases, produced by most forms of life (except mammals), which catalyze the reduction of trehalose (α-D-glucopyranosyl-1,1-α-D-glucopyranoside) - a non-reducing sugar and important storage carbohydrate - into glucose.
These enzymes are commonly found within brush border cells on the surface of the small intestine, and are present in most animals.
