Amylase is produced by the salivary glands and pancreas.
In humans, amylase is found in saliva, blood, and urine. The majority of amylase is found in the mouth, this enzyme is the chemical digestion that breaks down starch into smaller saccharides.
Under normal conditions only low levels are found in the blood and urine; higher levels are found if the pancreas or salivary glands become blocked or damaged. Therefore raised levels in the blood or urine can be indicators of pancreatic diseases (such as pancreatitis).
