where is alpha amylase found in the body
Alpha-amylase Although found in many tissues, amylase is most prominent in pancreatic juice and saliva, each of which has its own isoform of human Î±-amylase. They behave differently on isoelectric focusing, and can also be separated in testing by using specific monoclonal antibodies. In humans, all amylase isoforms link to chromosome 1p21 (see AMY1A).
