GlycoFlux™ Human MGAM Overexpression HepG2 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0925-JF652)

Description	GlycoFlux™ human MGAM overexpression HepG2 cell line is a stable cell line engineered to express maltase-glucoamylase (MGAM), a brush border enzyme completing starch digestion into glucose. MGAM contains catalytic domains similar to sucrase-isomaltase but with distinct substrate preferences. This model supports gastrointestinal biology, enzyme structure-function analysis, and carbohydrate digestion research.
