Sucrase-isomaltase ( gene : SI ) is the enzyme that the hydrolytic cleavage of limit dextrins , maltotriose , maltose , isomaltose , sucrose and other sugars, multi- catalyzed . This reaction step is essential for the digestion of carbohydrates . The enzyme is found in all vertebrates and is produced in humans in the small intestine and, to a small extent, in the large intestine on the surface of the microvilli . There it is associated with myosin -1A in the cell membrane . Mutations in the SI gene can cause sucrase-isomaltase deficiency and thus sucrose intolerance.

Catalyzed reaction

As an example of the separation of (1 → 6) -alpha-D-glucosidic bonds:

Isomaltose+ H 2 O ⇒ 2D-glucose

Isomaltose is split into two glucose molecules.

regulation

Activation of the SI gene is associated with changes in the modifications of histone H3 and binding of the transcription factor Cdx-2 to the promoter region of the gene. These requirements are among other things the result of a diet with a high carbohydrate / fat ratio.

HNF-1alpha is involved in the inhibition of gene expression by glucose .
