Native Human Pancreas alpha-Amylase

Specification

• Cat#: THP-109
• Product Name: Native Human Pancreas alpha-Amylase
• Description: Alpha amylase is able to catalyze the hydrolysis of starch (amylose and amylopectin) to a significant extent resulting in the release of maltose. The enzyme is found in nearly all plants, animals and microorganisms. The enzymes from various sources exhibit marked differences in physical, chemical and catalytic properties. Bacterial amylases and those from porcine pancreas and human saliva have been extensively studied. Alpha amylase from porcine pancreas has a molecular weight of about 50,000 and it exhibits optimum catalytic activity at pH 7.0. The E 1%/280 is 26.0 (Cadwell, et al, J. Am Chem Soc, 74, 4033, 1952).
