Product Description
Alpha-amylase is a functional enzyme that hydrolyzes alpha glycosidic bonds in large alpha-linked polysaccharides, including starch and glycogen. It features a compact molecular structure and excellent stability, with strong tolerance to a variety of adverse environmental conditions.
This enzyme hydrolyzes starch and glycogen to produce maltose and glucose, which supports energy supply for human and animal organisms. Alpha-amylase widely exists naturally in numerous plants, animals and microorganisms.

Product Application
α-Amylase is widely adopted in multiple plant research applications, particularly for metabolic mechanism studies on Arabidopsis.
Human pancreatic α-amylase is commonly utilized to assess interfering substances that affect enzymatic detection methods for calcium quantification in serum and urine samples.
Additionally, Sigma-derived α-amylase can be applied to establish standard calibration curves for the performance evaluation of automated amylase detection systems based on forensic specimens.
