Alpha-amylase 2B is a digestive enzyme that in humans is encoded by the AMY2B gene. This enzyme functions to break down carbohydrates, especially large carbohydrates like starch. This enzyme (along with AMY2A) is one of the primary alpha-amylases secreted by the acinar cells of the pancreas into pancreatic juice, which is released into the small intestines.
