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. == Terminology == === GO:0090599, the broad sense === The Gene Ontology entry GO:0090599 represents the broad sense of "alpha-glucosidase".
