Abstract

The amino-acid sequence of α-amylase isolated from the pancreas of the ostrich, Struthio camelus was determined. The α-amylase (OPA) consisted of 497 amino acid residues with pyroglutamic acid at the N-terminus and no oligosaccharide. Amino acid identity between OPA and chicken, porcine and human pancreatic α-amylases individually, was found to be 88, 82 and 86%, respectively. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Inc.
