Summary: 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.

AMY1 Gene Copy Number Correlates With Glucose Absorption and Visceral Fat Volume, but Not with Insulin Resistance.
Title: AMY1 Gene Copy Number Correlates With Glucose Absorption and Visceral Fat Volume, but Not with Insulin Resistance.
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.
Title: Salivary α-amylase copy number is not associated with weight trajectories and glycemic improvements following clinical weight loss: results from a 2-phase dietary intervention study.
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.
Title: Copy number variation of human AMY1 is a minor contributor to variation in salivary amylase expression and activity.
Diurnal and stress-response salivary alpha amylase patterns were related to child adiposity: decreased morning alpha amylase was associated with increased BMI.
Title: Salivary alpha amylase diurnal pattern and stress response are associated with body mass index in low-income preschool-aged children.
results show a strong association between acute physical stressor-induced elevations in sAA levels and patients with MDD.
Title: Salivary alpha-amylase and cortisol responsiveness following electrical stimulation stress in major depressive disorder patients.
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).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
