Entrez ID 277
Gene name Amylase alpha 1B
Gene symbol AMY1B
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AMY1
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p21.1
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
