Recombinant Human AMY1A Protein (His Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Calcium-binding enzyme that initiates starch digestion in the oral cavity. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal (1->4) -alpha-D-glucosidic bonds, yielding a mixture of maltose, isomaltose, small amounts of glucose as well as small linear and branched oligosaccharides called dextrins.

Abbreviation

AMY1A

Synonyms
