| Name | Amylase |
| Description | The measurement of amylase is most widely used in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis, where levels can be 50 times the normal value. Increased levels are also found renal failure, pulmonary inflammation, disease of the salivary gland and macroamylasemia. |
| Principle | Amylase cleaves the substrate ethylidine (G7) p-nitrophenyl 2-D maltoheptaside. The G2 PNP, G3 PNP and G4 PNP are completely hydrolysed to p-nitrophenol and glucose by glucosidase. |
