Amylase activity is associated with<i><scp>AMY</scp>2B</i>copy numbers in dog: implications for dog domestication, diet and diabetes

28 Jun 2014

Abstract excerpt

High amylase activity in dogs is associated with a drastic increase in copy numbers of the gene coding for pancreatic amylase, AMY2B, that likely allowed dogs to thrive on a relatively starch-rich diet during early dog domestication. Although most dogs thus probably digest starch more efficiently than do wolves, AMY2B copy numbers vary widely within the dog population, and it is not clear how this variation...
