Investigation of enzymes and isoenzymes

Markers of myocardial damage

Myocardial infarction is an acute disease that occurs as a result of a sharp discrepancy between the myocardium's need for oxygen and its delivery through the coronary arteries, ending in the development of necrosis of part of the heart muscle.

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (apf) in blood

Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) is a glycoprotein that is present primarily in the lungs and in small amounts in the brush border of the renal proximal tubule epithelium, the endothelium of blood vessels, and blood plasma.

Acid 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 are a special type of enzymes that 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 acid elastases. It is present in pancreatic secretions and feces. The enzyme is not destroyed during passage through the intestines.

Blood lipase

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

Pancreatic amylase in blood and urine

Pancreatic amylase in blood and urine is an important test that helps to determine, along with other laboratory tests, pancreatitis as an underlying disease, as well as any other abnormalities in the functioning of the pancreas.

Amylase in blood and urine

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

Cholinesterase in the blood

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

Glutamate dehydrogenase in blood

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

Gamma glutamyl transpeptidase in 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.
