Amylase is a digestive reactant produced by the pancreas and salivary glands. It helps break down carbohydrates.

The amylase pancreatic alpha serum test is used to measure the level of amylase in the blood. An abnormal level of amylase means you may have pancreatitis or any other pancreas and salivary gland-related problem.
