General description
Application
Biochem/physiol Actions
α-Amylase is a starch hydrolase, for glucose production, important for energy acquisition. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,4-glycosidic linkages in starch to form glucose, maltose, and maltotriose units. In mammals, α-amylase regulates the sugar assimilation by reducing the glucose uptake by Na+/glucose cotransporter 1 (SGLT1) and stimulating glycoprotein N-glycans mediated starch digestion. α-Amylase inhibitors are associated with the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. α-Amylases are widely known industrial enzymes used in food, detergent, textile, fermentation, and pharmaceutical industries.
Other Notes
1 U corresponds to the amount of enzyme which liberates 1 μmol maltose per minute at pH 6.9 and 25°C (starch acc. to Zulkowsky, Cat. No. 85642, as substrate)
Optimum pH and temperature 6.9 and 53 °C, respectively; calcium is required for activity and also prevents degradation by trypsin; Characterization.

Is this Amylase contaminated with glucose? We do an experiment in which they digest a starch solution and denature the enzyme by pH in a sample then test using iodine and the benedicts reagent. If there is glucose contamination we'd get false positives.
