Anti-Amylase [Clone AMY10-105.8] - 1mg

The digestive enzyme amylase functions extracellularly to cleave starch into smaller carbohydrate groups and, finally, into monosaccharides, by hydrolysis of internal alpha-1,4-glycoside bonds which results in the production of maltose and oligosaccharides. Among healthy individuals, the pancreas and the salivary glands account for almost all serum amylase, 40-45% from the pancreas and 55-60% from the salivary glands. Serum amylase is increased in at least 75% of pancreatitis cases.
