Related Product Information for AMY2A assay kit
Background: Amylase belongs to the family of glycoside hydrolase enzymes that break down starch into glucose molecules by acting on alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds. The alpha-amylases cleave at random locations on the starch chain, ultimately yielding maltotriose and maltose, glucose and "limit dextrin" from amylose and amylopectin. In mammals, alpha-amylase is a major digestive enzyme. Increased enzyme levels in humans are associated with salivary trauma, mumps due to inflammation of the salivary glands, pancreatitis and renal failure. Amylolytic enzyme hydrolyzes the starch to generate reducing sugar. The reducing sugar reduces the 3,5-dinitrosalicylic acid to generate red-brown substance. The color intensity, measured at 540 nm, is proportionate to the enzyme activity in the sample.

Product Notes
The General AMY2A amy2a (Catalog #AAA261576) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The AAA261576 Assay Kit recognizes General AMY2A. AAA Biotech's Alpha-Amylase can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, FA (Functional Assay). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the AMY2A amy2a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. 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
