Anti α amylase

Manufactured by Merck Group
Sourced in United States

Anti–α-amylase is a laboratory reagent used to inhibit the activity of the enzyme α-amylase. α-Amylase is an enzyme that breaks down starch into smaller carbohydrates. Anti–α-amylase can be used to study the role of α-amylase in various biological processes.

Two independent anti-ASNS antibodies were used (ab40850, Abcam, San Francisco, CA; 50-560-171, Fisher Scientific, Pittsburgh, PA). Rabbit anti–glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) (G8795-100UL), mouse anti–β-actin, and anti–α-amylase antibodies were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich (St. Louis, MO). ASNase (ab73439, Abcam; A3809, Sigma-Aldrich) was prepared as an aqueous stock at 1 U/μL concentration in water. Dolichos biflorus agglutinin-lectin (Vector Labs, Burlingame, CA), rabbit antibodies to phosphorylated PERK, PERK, phosphorylated p-eIF2α, and eIF2α were purchased from Cell Signaling Technology (Danvers, MA). Rabbit anti-ATF4 antibody and the reporter plasmid ASNS-173/+51/luciferase were kindly provided by Michael S. Kilberg. The latter was made by inserting an ASNS promoter fragment (nucleotides -173/+51) upstream of the Firefly luciferase reporter gene,26 (link) using the restriction site HindIII site of the luciferase reporter vector, pGL3 plasmid (Promega, Madison, WI).

Saliva (15 μl) or tissue samples (200 μg wet weight) from wild-type (WT) and knockout (KO) mice were run on 4–12% SDS-PAGE gels, blotted into PVDF membranes, and probed with rabbit polyclonal anti-α-amylase (1:2,500 dilution; A8373, Sigma-Aldrich, St. Louis, MO, USA). Bound antibody was detected using WesternBreeze Chemiluminescent Western Blot Immunodetection Kit and BioMax Light film (Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, NY, USA).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
