Do you mean a blood enzymes test, or more generally, enzymes in the blood? Enzymes are proteins that carry out chemical reactions (as opposed to structural enzymes). Most of the detectable enzymes in the blood come from the various tissues and organs of the body. Abnormal levels may reflect problems with a particular organ. The most common blood enzymes test is for liver enzymes. When the cells of the liver are damaged, such as from a viral infection, their enzymes can leak out and be detected in the blood. Another common test measures enzymes from heart damage, such as from a heart attack.

There is a huge amount of enzyme types in the human body. We have digestive enzymes such as pepsinogen, cardiac enzymes such as Trop-I, liver enzymes such as GGT.

If you are curious of enzymes in the human body I suggest you look at specific systems or organs. An example would be to ask the internets about "pancreatic enzymes".
