AMY2A (amylase alpha 2A)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 279
• Gene name: Amylase alpha 2A
• Gene symbol: AMY2A
• Synonyms (NCBI Gene): AMY2, PA
• Chromosome: 1
• Chromosome location: 1p21.1
• Summary: This gene encodes a member of the alpha-amylase family of proteins. Amylases are secreted proteins that hydrolyze 1,4-alpha-glucoside bonds in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, catalyzing the first step in digestion of dietary starch and glycogen. Thi
