Maltose phosphorylase is a glycoside phosphorylase that catalyzes the reversible phosphorolysis of maltose, releasing D-glucose and beta-D-glucose 1-phosphate. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms and participates in maltose metabolism and the reversible interconversion of maltose and glucose 1-phosphate in microbes and plants.
