一个α-对来自媒介蚊子埃及伊蚊的成年唾液腺的葡糖苷酶进行了表征。α-葡萄糖苷酶是一种可溶性糖蛋白，分子量为68，000，在蚊子进食糖餐时分泌。唾液腺的总活性在雄性和雌性之间相等，雌性腺体中82%的活性存在于近侧叶中。α-β的特征葡萄糖苷酶与麦芽糖酶样I基因编码的推定蛋白相关性良好。α-葡萄糖苷酶最有可能参与糖的消化。
An .alpha.-glucosidase from the adult salivary glands of the vector mosquito, Aedes aegypti, was characterized. The .alpha.-glucosidase is a soluble glycoprotein with Mr 68,000 that is secreted when mosquitoes take a sugar meal. Total activity in the salivary glands is equal between males and females with 82% of the activity in female glands being present in the proximal-lateral lobes. The characteristics of the .alpha.-glucosidase correlate well with the putative protein encoded by the Maltase-like I gene. The .alpha.-glucosidase is most likely involved in sugar digestion.
