Term Information

Accession: GO:0016161
Name: beta-amylase activity
Ontology: molecular_function
Synonyms: 4-alpha-D-glucan maltohydrolase activity, beta amylase activity, saccharogen amylase activity, glycogenase activity
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n+1) + H2O = (1,4-alpha-D-glucosyl)(n-1) + alpha-maltose. This reaction is the hydrolysis of 1,4-alpha-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides so as to remove successive maltose units from the non-reducing ends of the chains.
