α-Amylase(CAT: I020487) is an essential hydrolase enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,4-glycosidic linkages in starch, glycogen, and related polysaccharides, producing smaller sugar units like maltose and glucose. Widely distributed in plants, animals, and microorganisms, α-amylase is a crucial component of carbohydrate metabolism and digestion. It plays a key role in industrial processes such as food and beverage production, textile desizing, and bioethanol synthesis. In research, α-amylase is used to study enzymatic kinetics, carbohydrate metabolism, and applications in biotechnology. Its specificity and catalytic efficiency make it indispensable in both basic and applied biochemical studies.
