== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/AMY1A_HUMAN AMY1A_HUMAN] Calcium-binding enzyme that initiates starch digestion in the oral cavity (PubMed:12527308). Catalyzes the hydrolysis of internal (1->4)-alpha-D-glucosidic bonds, yielding a mixture of maltose, isomaltose, small amounts of glucose as well as small linear and branched oligosaccharides called dextrins (PubMed:12527308).<ref>PMID:12527308</ref>
