Maltohexaose is a disaccharide found in a variety of carbohydrates, such as starch, glycogen, and maltose. It is used as an acceptor for analyzing 4-alpha-glucotransferase activity. It has also been used in a study to investigate the production of a thermophilic maltooligosyl-trehalose synthase. Maltohexaose has a variety of biochemical and physiological effects. It may act to increase the absorption of glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids in the gastrointestinal tract. Maltohexaose has also been shown to stimulate the release of hormones, such as insulin and cholecystokinin, which help to regulate metabolism and digestion. In addition, maltohexaose may act to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
