The reaction gives at first equimolar amounts of α- and β-D-glucose. The enzyme is a hydrolase, specifically a glycosidase that hydrolyses O- and S-glycosyl compounds. It is also called trehalase, and it participates in starch and sucrose metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB: 2JF4​ and PDB: 2JG0​.
