Native Human AMY2A

• Cat.No.: AMY2A-8353H
• Product Overview: Native Human AMY2A was purified from Pancrease.

Specification

• Description: Alpha amylase is a polysaccharide-hydrolyzing enzyme secreted in the pancreas and salivary glands. Increased serum levels are seen in acute pancreatitis: the amount of amylase in the blood rises within 3 to 6 hours of onset, peaking at up to 40 times the normal level (after 20 to 30 hours) with normal levels re-established within 2 to 8 days. High blood amylase levels may also be due to impaired glomerular filtration leading to reduced renal elimination.
• Source: Pancrease
• Species: Human
• Form: Liquid in 0.1M TRIS buffer, pH 7.5, containing 0.15M NaCl, 1mM calcium chloride, 1mM benzamidine and 1mM pefabloc.
• Unit Definition: One unit will catalyse the hydrolysis of one micromole of malto-pentaose, which through coupled reactions results in the formation of 5 micromoles of glucose-6- phosphate per minute at 37°C. Measured at 340nm as an equimolar amount of NADH produced by a coupled reaction.
