Amy1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables amylase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system; pancreas; and submandibular gland. Orthologous to several human genes including AMY2B (amylase alpha 2B).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Amy1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
