Investigation of enzymes and isoenzymes

Myocardial injury markers

Myocardial infarction is an acute disease that arises from a sharp discrepancy between myocardial oxygen demand and its delivery through the coronary arteries, which results in the development of necrosis of a part of the heart muscle.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (apf) in the blood

Angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) is a glycoprotein, which is present mainly in the lungs and in small amounts in the brushing of the epithelium of the proximal tubules of the kidneys, the endothelium of the blood vessels and the blood plasma.

Acidic phosphatase in the blood

Acid phosphatase in the blood should not exceed 5-6.5 IU / l, and ideally it should not be in the bloodstream at all. In general, phosphatases - a special kind of enzymes, which are considered "water" - hydrolases. These substances can be found not only in the human body, but also in tissues, in the organs of almost all animals, and even in all kinds of plants.

Pancreatic elastase-1 in feces

Human pancreatic elastase-1 belongs to the family of acidic elastases. It is present in the secretion of the pancreas and feces. The enzyme does not break down when passing through the intestine.

Lipase in the blood

Lipase is an enzyme that catalyzes the cleavage of glycerides into glycerol and higher fatty acids. This enzyme in the human body is produced by a number of organs and tissues, which makes it possible to distinguish between lipase of gastric origin, pancreas, lungs, intestines, leukocytes, etc.

Pancreatic amylase in the blood and urine

Pancreatic amylase in blood and urine is an important analysis that helps to identify pancreatitis as the main disease, along with other laboratory tests, as well as any other anomalies in the functioning of the pancreas.

Amylase in the blood and urine

Alpha amylase belongs to the group of hydrolases that catalyze the hydrolysis of polysaccharides, including starch and glycogen, to simple mono- and disaccharides. The pancreatic and salivary glands are the richest in amylase.

Cholinesterase in the blood

Cholinesterase in the blood - one of many important and necessary enzymes, which for brevity in the medical world is designated by HE. True, real cholinesterase is found mainly in the muscle tissues of the skeleton, in the tissues of the nervous system, a small number of it is found in red blood cells - red blood cells. This cholinesterase is called acetylcholinesterase or AChE.

Glutamate dehydrogenase in the blood

Glutamate dehydrogenase catalyzes the conversion of glutamic acid to alpha-ketoglutaric acid and ammonia; The enzyme is concentrated in the mitochondria of cells, mainly in hepatocytes.

Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase in the blood

Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase is a membrane enzyme consisting of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fragments, the molecular weight of which ranges from 90,000 to 120,000.
