• The major sources of this enzyme are the pancreas and salivary glands.
• The normal serum level is made up of approximately 2/3 salivary type and 1/3 pancreatic. Total serum amylase is measured almost exclusively to diagnose acute pancreatitis..

Amylase is elevated in:
• Acute pancreatitis• Carcinoma of the pancreas• Epidemic parotitis• Acute cholecystitis• Penetrating and perforated ulcers• Mesentaric thrombosis• Intestinal obstruction• Ruptured ectopic pregnancy• Uremia• Postcholangiography• Drugs: morphine, codeine

Urinary amylase
• Due to its small size, amylase is easily filtered by the glomerulus of the kidney and excreted in the urine.
• Therefore, urinary amylase should be increased in pancreatitis.
• Current practice is to implant the pancreas such that the exocrine drainage is into the urinary bladder and not the intestine.
• This makes it very convenient to monitor the function of the pancreas by measuring urinary amylase.

Lipase
Mol. Wt. = 46-50000• Lipases are defined as that group of enzymes which hydrolyze the glycerol esters of long-chain fatty acids.
• Most of the lipase that appears in the serum is produced in the pancreas, but some is also secreted by the gastric and intestinal mucosa.
• Lipase activity can be demonstrated in leukocytes, in adipose tissue and in breast milk. Calcium is a effector.
• Colipase is an exocrine pancreatic protein which serves as a cofactor, anchoring lipase at the substrate interface.
• Serum lipase is primarily measured for the diagnosis of pancreatitis and obstruction of the pancreatic duct.
