Rabbit Anti-Mouse Amylase Alpha 2A (AMY2A) Polyclonal Antibody

Mouse amylase, alpha 2A (Amy2a) is a 55-kDa glycosylated hydrolase predominantly expressed in mouse salivary glands and pancreas, with secretion into saliva and pancreatic juice respectively. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of alpha-1,4 glycosidic bonds in dietary starch and glycogen, breaking down complex carbohydrates into maltose, maltotriose, and limit dextrins-critical for initiating carbohydrate digestion in the oral cavity and small intestine. Its salivary isoform kickstarts digestion early, while the pancreatic form amplifies nutrient breakdown in the gut, supporting energy absorption and metabolic homeostasis. Enriched in tissues involved in nutrient processing, it is essential for murine carbohydrate metabolism. As a key digestive enzyme, mouse Amy2a is a critical target for studying gastrointestinal physiology, metabolic disorders, and exocrine gland function.
