Molecular function

glucoamylase activity

Catalysis of the hydrolysis of terminal (1->4)-linked alpha-D-glucose residues successively from non-reducing ends of the chains with release of beta-D-glucose.

1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucohydrolase activity, amyloglucosidase activity, exo-1,4-alpha-glucosidase activity, gamma-1,4-glucan glucohydrolase activity, gamma-amylase activity, glucose amylase activity

Note that this term is not a child of 'alpha-glucosidase activity ; GO:0090599', because in the reaction represented by GO:0004339 results in the release of beta-D-glucose, whereas in GO:0090599 alpha-D-glucose is released.
