An α,α-trehalase (EC 3.2.1.28) is an enzyme with systematic name α,α-trehalose glucohydrolase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyzes the chemical reaction

α,α-trehalose + H2O 2 D-glucose

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. It is also called trehalase, and it participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.

Structural studies[edit]

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2JF4 and 2JG0.
