Salivary enzyme polymorphisms (Set, Sgd and AMY1) in the Galician population
1Department of Anthropology, Faculty of Biology, Santiago de Compostela, Galicia, Spain.
Abstract:
The genetic polymorphism of three salivary enzymes (esterase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and amylase) was studied in 580 autochthonous individuals from the Galician population (North-West Spain). The gene frequencies obtained were: SetF = 0.4036, SetS = 0.5964; Sgd1 = 0.7828, Sgd2 = 0.2172; AMY11 = 0.9319, AMY21 = 0.0495, AMY31 = 0.0186. Evidence of genetic intrapopulational heterogeneity was found for Set and Sgd loci. An alternative method for AMY1 typing by means of isoelectric focusing is proposed which allows the use of long-term stored saliva samples.

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
