Gene information for AMY2B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID280
Official gene symbolAMY2B
Full nameamylase, alpha 2B (pancreatic)
Aliases,AMY2,
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.
