GlycoErase™ AMY1A Knockout HEK293 Cell Line

GlycoErase™ AMY1A knockout HEK293 cell line is a human embryonic kidney (HEK293) model lacking AMY1A expression. AMY1A encodes a salivary isoform of alpha-amylase, a secreted enzyme responsible for hydrolyzing 1,4-alpha-glucosidic bonds in dietary starch and glycogen, initiating carbohydrate digestion. The knockout of AMY1A in the HEK293 background provides a unique tool to study human digestive enzyme biology, regulation of polysaccharide breakdown, and extra-pancreatic expression of amylase, while supporting applications in metabolic research, enzyme replacement therapy modeling, and carbohydrate processing analysis.

Upon receipt, this product must be immediately transferred from dry ice to liquid nitrogen (-150°C to -190°C) and stored in a liquid nitrogen tank. Cell viability is critically dependent on proper handling. We cannot guarantee viability if these instructions are not strictly adhered to.

This product is provided for research only, not suitable for human or animal use. Due to the inherent limitations of infectious agent testing, investigators must exercise extreme caution when handling cells provided by Creative Biolabs, treating all cells as potentially biohazardous.

AMY1A

Amylase Alpha 1A

AMY1

1p21.1

This salivary gland amylase isoenzyme hydrolyzes 1,4-alpha-glucoside bonds in carbohydrates, initiating starch and glycogen digestion. It is part of a gene cluster expressed at high levels in salivary glands or pancreas. Alternative splicing generates identical protein products.
