Acid alpha-glucosidase, also called acid maltase,[5] is an enzyme that helps to break down glycogen in the lysosome. It is functionally similar to glycogen debranching enzyme, but is on a different chromosome, processed differently by the cell and is located in the lysosome rather than the cytosol.[6] In humans, it is encoded by the GAA gene.[5] Errors in this gene cause glycogen storage disease type II (Pompe disease).
