2023年9月14日 · Amylase is a protein made by your pancreas and by glands in and around your mouth and throat. It helps you break down carbohydrates and starches into sugar. It’s normal to have some amylase...

2023年11月12日 · Amylase is a frequently ordered standard diagnostic test, often combined with lipase, particularly when acute pancreatitis is suspected in patients. [2] Elevated amylase levels may manifest in various conditions, including pancreatic, salivary, and intestinal diseases, as well as decreased metabolic clearance and macroamylasemia. [4] .

2019年2月22日 · Amylase is a digestive enzyme that the pancreas and salivary glands produce. Doctors typically use amylase blood tests to help diagnose and monitor people with acute or chronic pancreatitis.

Tests for amylase in blood or urine are mainly used to diagnose problems with your pancreas, including pancreatitis, which is inflammation of the pancreas. The test is also used to monitor chronic (long-term) pancreatitis.

2019年3月25日 · Salivary amylase initiates carbohydrate digestion in the mouth and pancreatic amylase is the main enzyme for luminal digestion of carbohydrate in the small intestine. Human pancreatic α-amylase is synthesized as a protein of 57 KDa for which the cDNA predicts a protein of 512 amino acids (66).

2023年11月12日 · Amylase is a digestive enzyme predominantly secreted by the pancreas and salivary glands and is present in other tissues at minimal levels. Amylase was initially described in the early 1800s and is one of the pioneering enzymes to undergo scientific investigation.
