General description
Maltotetraose also known as Amylotetraose, is a tetrasaccharide that is composed of glucose molecules linked by α-1,4 glycosidic bonds and has been commonly found in B. stearothermophilus. It increases the α-amylase synthesis rate in B. stearothermophilus and inhibits TNF-α-induced expression of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). Maltotetraose can be used as a substrate for the enzyme-coupled determination of amylase activity in biological fluids that finds application in metabolomics and biochemical research.
Application
Maltotetraose producing amylases are highly desirable for application in bread making and other food industries. It has been used in a study to characterize an exo-acting intracellular a-amylase from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Thermotoga neapolitana.
