IUBMB Comments Acts on starch, glycogen and related polysaccharides and oligosaccharides in a random manner; reducing groups are liberated in the alpha-configuration. The term "alpha" relates to the initial anomeric configuration of the free sugar group released and not to the configuration of the linkage hydrolysed.
The taxonomic range for the selected organisms is: Thermotoga maritima The enzyme appears in selected viruses and cellular organisms
Synonyms
alpha-amylase, diastase, alpha amylase, pancreatic alpha-amylase, crustacean cardioactive peptide, maltogenic amylase, taka-amylase a, human salivary alpha-amylase, bacillus licheniformis alpha-amylase, alpha-amylase 2,
