Name of the gene or DNA sequence
Alpha-amylase gene
Abbreviation
CS-AmyLi-BACLI
Category of DNA sequence
  • Protein coding sequence
Is the gene / DNA sequence is a synthetic molecule?
No
Donor organism
Donor organism
Bacillus licheniformis - BACLI
Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Name of the protein expressed by the coding sequence
Alpha-amylase
Biological function
Alpha-amylase helps to degrade starch by hydrolysing the alpha-1,4-glycosidic bonds of oligo- and polysaccharides. Besides in bacteria, it is also found in fungi, higher plants and animals. Amylase is commonly used in the fermentation and baking industry. The transferred alpha-amylase from B. licheniformis is characterised by high heat resistance and a broad pH optimum.
