  Maltase Society :: Chetcuti Cauchi Rechtsanwälte : Malta Society : Social Statistics
The official languages are Maltase and English; Maltase itself is a language of Semitic origin, although it bears traces of the influence of centuries of successive foreign invaders.
Maltase culture and traditions mirror the islands' long domination by foreign powers together with the local's interaction with the million plus tourists who visit the islands every year.
Maltase hospitality is legendary - a long history of greeting visitors and adapting to the demands of the less welcome has left the Maltase with a truly international attitude characterized by openness, tolerance, friendliness and a zest for innovation and information.

 Maltase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Maltase (EC 3.2.1.20) is one enzyme produced by the cells lining the small intestine to break down disaccharides.
Maltase is secreted by the surface cells of the villi, which are thin projections on the mucosa.
When the maltose had binded with the maltase, the former is hydrolysed, that is to say it is split into its component parts, i.e.

 Alteration of kidney brush border membrane maltase in aging rats.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The specific activities of membrane-bound maltase (alpha-d-glucoside glucohydrolase, EC 3.2.1.20) in renal cortex homogenates and isolated brush border membranes of senescent rats decreased about 30% compared to the specific activities of the enzyme from young adult animals.
This finding suggests that the decrease in maltase activity with age results from an alteration in the enzyme per se, rather than from a change in the enzyme's membrane environment, which was reflected secondarily as a loss in activity.
Recoveries of enzyme activity and protein and fold-purification were similar for young and old maltase, indicating that the age-related difference in specific activities of the pure enzymes was not due to the selective purification of an altered species of enzyme.

 eMedicine - Acid Maltase Deficiency Myopathy : Article Excerpt by: Michael Weinik, DO   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Background: Acid maltase deficiency (AMD) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by an excessive accumulation of glycogen within lysosome-derived vacuoles in nearly all types of cells.
Infantile acid maltase deficiency (Pompe disease) is the classic example of a metabolic myopathy and motor neuron disease that causes infantile hypotonia.
Deletions or missense mutations (mutations in which the base replacement changes the codon for one amino acid to another) usually are associated with the infantile variant (Pompe disease), whereas "leaky" (partial) mutations are associated with the childhood and adult forms of AMD.

 MDA News | MDA RESEARCH YIELDS PROMISING DRUG FOR FATAL INFANT DISEASE
This recent development in Pompe's disease (also known as acid maltase deficiency) is very encouraging, and the Association is enthusiastic about supporting the next phase of research designed to treat the disorder," said Robert Ross, MDA's senior vice president and executive director.
Prior to that time, some 20 years of attempts to deliver the missing enzyme to tissues that needed it were unsuccessful, because the unmodified enzyme couldn't enter cells from the bloodstream.
Acid maltase deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects not only infants but people of all ages.

This reaction, however, is not helpful for diagnosis because the activity of acid maltase in normal muscle is minimal or non-reactive.

Pompe disease is a hereditary metabolic disorder caused by the complete or partial deficiency of the enzyme acid alpha-glucosidase (also known as lysosomal alpha-glucosidase or acid maltase).
This enzyme deficiency causes excess amounts of glycogen to accumulate in the lysosomes of many cell types but predominantly in muscle cells.
