Native Human AMY1B

• Cat.No.: AMY1B-31376TH
• Product Overview: Full length native mature Salivary Amylase protein purified from Human saliva.

Specification

• Description: Amylases are secreted proteins that hydrolyze 1,4-alpha-glucoside bonds in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, and thus catalyze the first step in digestion of dietary starch and glycogen. The human genome has a cluster of several amylase genes that are expressed at high levels in either salivary gland or pancreas. This gene encodes an amylase isoenzyme produced by the salivary gland.
• Biological activity: Activity:207 Units/mg powder @ 37°CSpecific Activity:518 Units/mg Protein.One unit will catalyze 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
• Form: Lyophilised:Reconstitute with Tris saline or other buffer to desired concentration. Lyophilized from 150mM Sodium chloride, 20mM Tris, 1mM Calcium chloride, pH 7.2. Protein:0.40mg Protein/mg powder (Coomassie).
• Purity: >90% by SDS-PAGE
• Storage buffer: Preservative: NoneConstituents: 20mM Tris, 150mM Sodium chloride, 1mM Calcium chloride, pH 7.2
• Storage: Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C. Avoid freeze / thaw cycles.
