Maltopentaose is an oligosaccharide for oligosaccharide research and diagnostics. Maltopentaose is a malto-oligosaccharide comprised of five α-1,4-linked glucose molecules. Maltopentaose increases the α-amylase synthesis rate in B. stearothermophilus when used at a concentration of 1 mM. Maltopentaose has been used as a substrate for porcine pancreatic α-amylase (PPA) to study various inhibitors of PPA. Maltopentaose is also known as Maltopentose, O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-O-α-D-glucopyranosyl-(1→4)-D-glucose, and Amylopentaose.
