Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences Amylase Activity Assay Kit
Supplier: Sigma Aldrich Fine Chemicals Biosciences MAK0091KT
Amylase enzymes are glycoside hydrolases which cleave glucan linkages in polysaccharides such as starch or glycogen to release polysaccharide molecules. Amylase is found in animals plants and many fungi. In mammals amylase is the predominant form of amylase and is one of the major enzymes of dietary digestion. Both the activity and the stability of amylase is dependent on calcium ions. In humans amylase levels are highest in pancreatic and salivary secretions. Increased blood and urine levels of amylase occur due to pancreatic disorders and salivary trauma. Increased salivary amylase activity is also a marker for increased sympathetic nervous system activity.
