Product Description
Maltohexaose is a natural sugar that can be produced from amylose, amylopectin and whole starch.
Maltohexaose is a carbohydrate compound consisting of six glucose units linked by alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds. It is a linear oligosaccharide belonging to the maltodextrin family. Maltohexaose is used as a substrate or acceptor in enzymatic assays, for example, in quantifying 4-alpha-glucanotransferase activity. It is also used in analytical method development and quality control applications.
Biological Activity I Assay Protocols (From Reference)
Targets
Glycoside hydrolases and transferases (e.g., 4-alpha-glucanotransferase). Maltohexaose is a substrate for enzymes that hydrolyze or transfer glycosidic bonds. It is used as an acceptor for quantifying 4-alpha-glucanotransferase activity. It may also interact with other carbohydrate-active enzymes.
ln Vitro
Maltohexaose is used as a substrate in enzymatic assays to measure the activity of carbohydrate-active enzymes. Its primary activity is as a biochemical tool rather than a pharmacologically active compound. It does not have significant biological activity beyond its role as a carbohydrate substrate.
ln Vivo
No specific in vivo activity data is available for Maltohexaose. As a carbohydrate, it would be metabolized to glucose upon ingestion. It is not used as a therapeutic agent but as a research tool in enzymology and carbohydrate chemistry.
Enzyme Assay
In vitro enzyme assays using Maltohexaose typically involve measuring the activity of glycoside hydrolases or transferases. For example, 4-alpha-glucanotransferase activity is quantified by measuring the transfer of glucose units to or from maltohexaose as an acceptor or donor. Reaction products are analyzed by HPLC or mass spectrometry.
Cell Assay
The in vitro cellular activity of Maltohexaose is not typically studied, as it is a carbohydrate substrate rather than a pharmacologically active compound. It may be used in cell culture media as a carbohydrate source or in studies of carbohydrate metabolism. Its effects on cellular processes are not well characterized.
Animal Protocol
No specific in vivo animal experimental protocols are available for Maltohexaose. As a carbohydrate, it would be metabolized to glucose upon ingestion. It is not used as a therapeutic agent and is not typically administered in animal studies except as a component of diets or in studies of carbohydrate metabolism.
ADME/Pharmacokinetics
Maltohexaose is a linear oligosaccharide of six glucose units. Molecular formula: C36H62O31, molecular weight: 990.86. Appearance: white powder. Melting point: 204-206degC. Solubility: soluble in water. Storage: under recommended conditions.
Toxicity/Toxicokinetics
No specific toxicological data is available for Maltohexaose. As a carbohydrate, it is expected to have very low toxicity. It is metabolized to glucose and is generally recognized as safe. Standard laboratory safety precautions should be observed.

Avoid repeated freeze and thaw cycles.

Calculator

Molarity Calculator allows you to calculate the mass, volume, and/or concentration required for a solution, as detailed below:

  • Calculate the Mass of a compound required to prepare a solution of known volume and concentration
  • Calculate the Volume of solution required to dissolve a compound of known mass to a desired concentration
  • Calculate the Concentration of a solution resulting from a known mass of compound in a specific volume
An example of molarity calculation using the molarity calculator is shown below:
What is the mass of compound required to make a 10 mM stock solution in 5 ml of DMSO given that the molecular weight of the compound is 350.26 g/mol?
  • Enter 350.26 in the Molecular Weight (MW) box
  • Enter 10 in the Concentration box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 5 in the Volume box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 17.513 mg appears in the Mass box. In a similar way, you may calculate the volume and concentration.

Dilution Calculator allows you to calculate how to dilute a stock solution of known concentrations. For example, you may Enter C1, C2 & V2 to calculate V1, as detailed below:

What volume of a given 10 mM stock solution is required to make 25 ml of a 25 μM solution?
Using the equation C1V1 = C2V2, where C1=10 mM, C2=25 μM, V2=25 ml and V1 is the unknown:
  • Enter 10 into the Concentration (Start) box and choose the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Concentration (End) box and select the correct unit (mM)
  • Enter 25 into the Volume (End) box and choose the correct unit (mL)
  • Click the “Calculate” button
  • The answer of 62.5 μL (0.1 ml) appears in the Volume (Start) box
