Gene information for AMY2A (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID279
Official gene symbolAMY2A
Full nameamylase, alpha 2A (pancreatic)
Aliases,AMY2,AMY2B,PA,
Gene summaryAmylases 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 pancreas.
