General description
Maltopentaose, also known as Amylopentaose, is a naturally occurring oligosaccharide and endogenous metabolite composed of five α-1,4-linked glucose molecules. It is the shortest chain pentasaccharide categorized under maltodextrin and finds applications in exploring glycation and phosphorylation of α-lactalbumin. Notably, at a concentration of 1 mM, maltopentaose enhances the α-amylase synthesis rate in B. stearothermophilus. Additionally, it serves as a substrate for porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA), making it valuable for investigating various PPA inhibitors.
Application
A partial hydrolysis of maltopentaose has been used to prepare a dextran ladder in a study that assessed cationic labeling of oligosaccharides.
Maltopentaose is a versatile compound that finds application in metabolomics and biochemical research.
