Definition

Enzyme markers are tests for specific enzyme activity in the body. Diseases or defects passed down through families can cause enzymes to stop working or to be less active.

Test results are reported as a percentage of normal enzyme activity.

How do enzymes act as markers for diseases?

Enzymes are proteins that make a reaction more or less likely to occur.
