AMY1B
gene geneOn this page
Summary
AMY1B (amylase alpha 1B, HGNC:475) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p21.1, encoding Alpha-amylase 1B (P0DTE7). Calcium-binding enzyme that initiates starch digestion in the oral cavity.
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.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 6)
- These findings confirm that sAA is sensitive to the effects of potentially stressful stimuli (state variance) and at the same time demonstrate its relative robustness and stability across time and conditions (trait variance). (PMID:21827821)
- results show a strong association between acute physical stressor-induced elevations in sAA levels and patients with MDD. (PMID:22063648)
- Diurnal and stress-response salivary alpha amylase patterns were related to child adiposity: decreased morning alpha amylase was associated with increased BMI. (PMID:25588701)
- AMY1 copy number was significantly correlated with the variation observed in salivary amylase production and enzyme activity but did not explain the majority of observed variation between individuals. AMY1-odd and AMY1-even haplotypes showed a different relationship between copy number and expression levels, but the difference was not statistically significant. (PMID:28219410)
- At baseline, a modest association between AMY1 gene copy number and BMI (P = 0.04) was observed but AMY1 gene copy was not associated with baseline glycemic variables. (PMID:30982860)
- AMY1 Gene Copy Number Correlates With Glucose Absorption and Visceral Fat Volume, but Not with Insulin Resistance. (PMID:32697825)
