Cat#:PA-4065F;Product Name:Sheep Anti-Human Amylase Antibody;Synonym:Amylase; Alpha amylase; Glycogenase; Amylases; Salivary Amylas;Background:Amylase is an enzyme that catalyses the breakdown of starch into sugars. Amylase is present in human saliva, where it begins the chemical process of digestion. Food that contains much starch but little sugar, such as rice and potato, taste slightly sweet as they are chewed because amylase turns some of their starch into sugar in the mouth. The pancreas also makes amylase (alpha amylase) to hydrolyse dietary starch into disaccharides and trisaccharides which are converted by other enzymes to glucose to supply the body with energy. Plants and some bacteria also produce amylase. As diastase, amylase was the first enzyme to be discovered and isolated (by Anselme Payen in 1833) Specific amylase proteins are designated by different Greek letters. All amylases are glycoside hydrolases and act on α-1,4-glycosidic bonds.;Description:Sheep Anti-Human Amylase Polyclonal Antibody;Formulation:Liquid Solution;Host Species:Sheep;Species Reactivity:Human;Isotype:IgG1;Application:DD, IEP, WB;Storage:Store antibody products at 2-8°C.
