alpha-Amylase is not required for breakdown of transitory starch in Arabidopsis leaves.
Alpha amylase is a major allergenic component in occupational asthma patients caused by porcine pancreatic extract.
The maltogenic alpha-amylase is an enzyme which catalyses hydrolysis of (1-4)-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in polysaccharides so as to remove successive alpha-maltose residues from the non-reducing ends of the chains in the conversion of starch to maltose.
Alpha-amylase is of prime importance in initial stages of starch degradation whether this occurs in naturally germinating cereal grains in the soil or under controlled industrial processing such as malting and brewing (Macgregor, 1983).
