A comparative study of serum and organ alpha-amylases of the camel (Camelus dromedarius).
The activity of alpha-amylase of the camel serum was found to be remarkably high (2325 U/l as compared with 77 U/l of bovine serum). The results obtained on chloride activation and substrate affinity studies as well as the DEAE-cellulose absorption properties indicate a substantial similarity between serum and tissue amylase(s) of the camel. On the contrary, a marked difference between the camel and the bovine amylases has been evidenced.
