Identification
Name:Alpha-amylase
Synonyms:
  • 1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucanohydrolase
Gene Name:malS
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Involved in catalytic activity
Specific Function:Since only maltooligosaccharides up to a chain length of 6 glucose units are actively transported through the cytoplasmic membrane via the membrane-bound complex of three proteins, malF, malG, and malK, longer maltooligosaccharides must first be degraded by the periplasmic alpha-amylase, the malS protein
