Function
- Ca+2-binding enzyme that initiates starch digestion in the oral cavity
- endohydrolysis of 1,4-alpha-D-glucosidic linkages in oligosaccharides & polysaccharides
Structure
- monomer
- belongs to the glycosyl hydrolase 13 family
Compartment
Notes
- recently duplicated genes AMY1A, AMY1B, & AMY1C show no differences over a region of 950 base pairs sequenced; thus sequences of the amylase 1A, amylase 1B & amylase 1C proteins may be identical
