<P> Maltase ( EC 3.2. 1.20 , alpha - glucosidase , glucoinvertase , glucosidosucrase , maltase - glucoamylase , alpha - glucopyranosidase , glucosidoinvertase , alpha - D - glucosidase , alpha - glucoside hydrolase , alpha - 1 , 4 - glucosidase , alpha - D - glucoside glucohydrolase ) is an enzyme located in on the brush border of the small intestine that breaks down the disaccharide maltose . Maltase catalyzes the hydrolysis of maltose to the simple sugar glucose . This enzyme is found in plants , bacteria , and yeast . Acid maltase deficiency is categorized into three separate types based on the age of onset of symptoms in the affected individual . </P>
