Also known as AMY1, amylase, alpha 1C (salivary), amylase alpha 1C (salivary), amylase alpha 1C
The human AMY1C gene encodes the protein Amylase, alpha 1C (salivary).
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.
