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. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript
variants encoding the same protein.1) Ragunath, C., et al. J. Mol. Biol. 384(5):1232-1248(2008)
