α-Amylase(α-AMY) Determination Reagent is an in vitro diagnostic quantitative test kit. α-AMY is mainly derived from salivary glands and exocrine pancreas and catalyzes the hydrolysis of α-1→4 glycosidic bonds of starch and other related polysaccharides to produce maltose and other oligosaccharides. α-AMY levels are mainly used in the diagnosis of acute pancreatitis. α-AMY is often considered to be an indicator of acute pancreatitis, with a significant increase in serum and urinary α-AMY activity. elevated α-AMY activity can also be caused by severe renal tubular failure, severe diabetes mellitus, etc.
