van der Maarel, van der Veen, Uitdehaag, Leemhuis, Dijkhuizen: "Properties and applications of starch-converting enzymes of the alpha-amylase family." in: Journal of biotechnology, Vol. 94, Issue 2, pp. 137-55, (2002) (PubMed).
Alpha Amylase is an enzyme that begins the digestion of starches. Specifically, Alpha Amylase cleaves the alpha bonds in large polysaccharides. Alpha Amylase is found in both the pancreas and saliva in humans, with salivary amylase beginning the digestion of starches and pancreatic amylase finishing the digestion. The large amount of conserved amino acid sequences and prevalence of alpha amylase enzymes has allowed this class of enzymes to be beneficial to industrial breakdown of starches into glucose and high-fructose corn syrup. Alpha amylase derived from bacillus amyloliquefaciens is also useful in the production of various detergents relying on the breakdown of starches. Anti-Alpha Amylase (Bacillus amyloliquefaciens) Antibody is ideal for investigators in Enzymology, Molecular Biology, and Microbiology research. Synonyms: Alpha-amylase EC=3.2.1.1 1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucanohydrolase
