Glycogenase - a family of hydrolases that cleaves alpha-linkages in polysaccharides, such as starch and glycogen, and yield glucose and maltose. This family includes the amylase forms that are produced by mammals. In humans, alpha-amylase is produced by salivary glands and the pancreas. See alpha-amylase
