Maltooctaose is a polysaccharide. It is also a glucosylation enzyme. The enzyme maltase, present in the small intestine, facilitates the breakdown of maltooctaose into its individual monosaccharides. Through catalysis, maltase hydrolyzes the glycosidic bond connecting the two glucose molecules. Following this process, the monosaccharides are absorbed into the bloodstream for utilization as energy or storage as glycogen.
