alpha-Amylase CAS 9000-90-2

What is alpha-Amylase CAS 9000-90-2?

alpha-Amylase CAS 9000-90-2 is an enzyme belonging to the glycoside hydrolase family that catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1,4-glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides such as starch and glycogen. It occurs naturally in plants, animals, and microorganisms and plays an important role in carbohydrate metabolism. Due to its ability to convert starch into fermentable sugars like maltose and glucose, it has become an essential industrial enzyme widely applied in food, fermentation, biotechnology, and detergent industries.
