uniprot summary :
AMY2A: 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 pancreas. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. Protein type: EC 3.2.1.1; Secreted; Carbohydrate Metabolism - starch and sucrose; Hydrolase; Secreted, signal peptide. Cellular Component: extracellular space. Molecular Function: alpha-amylase activity; cation binding; protein binding; calcium ion binding; chloride ion binding. Biological Process: carbohydrate catabolic process; carbohydrate metabolic process
