Gene nameAMY1A
Protein nameAlpha-amylase (EC 3.2.1.1)
Alpha-amylase 1A (EC 3.2.1.1) (1,4-alpha-D-glucan glucanohydrolase 1) (Salivary alpha-amylase)
SynonymsAMY1
DescriptionFUNCTION: Calcium-binding enzyme that initiates starch digestion in the oral cavity . Catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds, yielding a mixture of maltose, isomaltose, small amounts of glucose as well as small linear and branched oligosaccharides called dextrins . .
