NCIt definition : Sucrase-isomaltase, intestinal (1827 aa, 209 kDa) is encoded by the human SI gene.
This protein plays a role in the catabolism of sucrose, isomaltose and other dietary
oligosaccharides.;
NCIt note : Sucrase-isomaltase, intestinal is proteolytically cleaved when exposed to pancreatic
proteases in the intestinal lumen yielding isomaltase (amino acid residues 2-1007;
EC 3.2.1.10) and sucrase (amino acid residues 1008-1827; EC 3.2.1.48) However, the
sucrase and isomaltase domains remain associated by noncovalent interactions. (UniProt
