GENE INFORMATION

Gene name

AMY1C (HGNC Symbol)

Synonyms

AMY1

Description

Amylase, alpha 1C (salivary) (HGNC Symbol)

Entrez gene summary

Amylases are secreted proteins that hydrolyze 1,4-alpha-glucoside bonds in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, and thus catalyze the first step in digestion of dietary starch and glycogen. The human genome has a cluster of several amylase genes that are expressed at high levels in either salivary gland or pancreas. This gene encodes an amylase isoenzyme produced by the salivary gland.
