Related Product Information for alpha-Amylase assay kit
alpha-Amylases (EC 3.2.1.1) are digestive enzymes which catalyze the hydrolysis of internal alpha-1,4-glycosidic linkages in starch to lower molecular weight products, such glucose, maltose and maltotriose units. Human alpha-amylase is mainly expressed in salivary glands and pancreas. These two isozymes share a high degree of primary amino acid sequence similarity (97%) and 92% in their catalytic domains. Furthermore, both alpha-Amylases are immunologically identical in their reactions with polyclonal antibodies, share same mode of action, preferred substrates, are Chlorine activated and reach maximum activity at similar pH values. Functionally, they have similar but not identical cleavage patterns when tested with a variety of substrates. Modulation of alpha-amylase activity affects the utilization of carbohydrates as an energy source. This enzyme is responsible for the breakdown of complex carbohydrates in humans. Thus, inhibition of alpha-amylase could be considered as a strategy for the treatment of disorders related to carbohydrate uptake, such as diabetes, obesity, dental cavities and periodontal diseases. alpha-Amylase Inhibitor Screening Kit provides a simple, homogenous assay for screening potential alpha-Amylase inhibitors using a 96 well microplate. In our kit, human alpha-Amylase hydrolyzes the synthetic substrate, yielding smaller fragments containing the chromophore (pNP; OD = 405 nm). A potent, specific inhibitor is also included in the kit.

Product Notes
The Human alpha-Amylase (Catalog #AAA849699) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA849699 Assay Kit recognizes Human alpha-Amylase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "alpha-Amylase, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
