GlycoErase™ AMY2A Knockout CHO-K1 Cell Line (CAT#: GLJF-0825-JF267)

Description	GlycoErase™ AMY2A knockout CHO-K1 cell line is a Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) model in which AMY2A expression has been eliminated. AMY2A encodes a pancreatic alpha-amylase isoenzyme that hydrolyzes 1,4-alpha-glucosidic bonds in dietary starch and glycogen, initiating carbohydrate digestion. The knockout of AMY2A in the CHO-K1 background enables studies on pancreatic enzyme function, carbohydrate breakdown, and digestive physiology, supporting applications in metabolic disease research, digestive enzyme biology, and therapeutic enzyme development.

Full Name	Amylase Alpha 2A
Alternative Name	PA; AMY2
Location	1p21.1
Gene ID	279
Summary	This gene encodes a member of the alpha-amylase family of proteins. Amylases are secreted proteins that hydrolyze 1,4-alpha-glucoside bonds in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, catalyzing the first step in digestion of dietary starch and glycogen. This gene and several family members are present in a gene cluster on chromosome 1. This gene encodes an amylase isoenzyme produced by the pancreas.
