Alpha-amylase 1 is an enzyme encoded in humans by the AMY1A gene. The gene is present in many organisms. Amylase is a secretory protein that hydrolyzes the 1, 4-alpha-glucoside bond in oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, thus catalyzing the digestion of dietary starches and glycogen as the first step.
