An Amylase test may be ordered when a person exhibits symptoms of pancreatitis (an infection of the pancreas). These symptoms include severe abdominal or back pain, nausea, fever or loss of appetite.
Amylase is an enzyme which catalyzes the hydrolysis of the polysaccharide starch to the disaccharide maltose. Salivary amylase is produced by the salivary glands and pancreatic amylase is produced by the pancreas.If amylase is added to a solution of starch, the starch will be digested to form maltose. The rate of the reaction is increased if the enzyme and substrate mixture is brought to body temperature (37 0 C).The progress of the reaction can be visualized by testing the reaction mixture for (1) the disappearance of the substrate (starch) or (2) the appearance of product (maltose).enedicts.
