α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic  (Synonyms: 1,4-alpha-D-Glucan-glucanohydrolase, amy2, PPA, PA)

α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic (1,4-alpha-D-Glucan-glucanohydrolase) is a hydrolase enzyme that can be isolated from porcine pancreatic. α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic catalyses the hydrolysis of internal α-1, 4-glycosidic linkages in starch to yield products like glucose and maltose. α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic can be used in life science research^[1][2][3][4].

α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic can be used in the study of starch metabolism^[2].
α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic shows binding activity toward N-linked oligosaccharides of glycoproteins, which is a unique feature not shared by α-amylases from saliva, wheat, or fungus^[3].
α-Amylase, Porcine Pancreatic enhances the release of Dexamethasone (HY-14648) from its γ-cyclodextrin (γCD) complex at relatively low concentrations of γCD by catalyzing the hydrolysis of γCD^[4].
