Amylases are secreted proteins that hydrolyze 1,4 alpha glucoside bonds in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides. They catalyze the first step in digestion of dietary starch and glycogen. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding the same protein. Salivary Amylase is a digestive enzyme secreted by salivary glands, it consists of a single polypeptide chain with a molecular weight of 56 kDa (family B) or 62 kDa (family A), the difference in molecular weight being due to the presence or absence of a carbohydrate moiety. The total serum concentration of amylase is about 120g/L of which about 50 % is salivary amylase. Although salivary amylase and pancreatic amylase share 95 % amino acid sequence homology, they differ in molecular size, isoelectricpoint and antigenic properties.Synonyms: 1, 4-alpha-D-glucan glucanohydrolase 1, AMY1, AMY1A, Salivary alpha-amylase
