  2. CPK-MB test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CPK-MB_test

    The CPK-MB test (creatine phosphokinase-MB), also known as CK-MB test, is a cardiac marker [3] used to assist diagnoses of an acute myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, or myocarditis. It measures the blood level of CK-MB (creatine kinase myocardial band), the bound combination of two variants (isoenzymes CKM and CKB ) of the enzyme ...

  3. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    Cardiac markers are used for the diagnosis and risk stratification of patients with chest pain and suspected acute coronary syndrome and for management and prognosis in patients with diseases like acute heart failure. Most of the early markers identified were enzymes, and as a result, the term "cardiac enzymes" is sometimes used. However, not ...

  4. ELISA - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ELISA

    As an analytical biochemistry assay and a "wet lab" technique, ELISA involves detection of an analyte (i.e., the specific substance whose presence is being quantitatively or qualitatively analyzed) in a liquid sample by a method that continues to use liquid reagents during the analysis (i.e., controlled sequence of biochemical reactions that will generate a signal which can be easily ...

  5. Creatine kinase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Creatine_kinase

    Thus creatine kinase is an important enzyme in such tissues. [3] Clinically, creatine kinase is assayed in blood tests as a marker of damage of CK-rich tissue such as in myocardial infarction (heart attack), rhabdomyolysis (severe muscle breakdown), muscular dystrophy, autoimmune myositides, and acute kidney injury. [4]

  6. Diagnosis of myocardial infarction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diagnosis_of_myocardial...

    The diagnosis of myocardial infarction requires two out of three components (history, ECG, and enzymes). When damage to the heart occurs, levels of cardiac markers rise over time, which is why blood tests for them are taken over a 24-hour period. Because these enzyme levels are not elevated immediately following a heart attack, patients ...

  7. Butyrylcholinesterase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butyrylcholinesterase

    The term "serum cholinesterase" is generally used in reference to a clinical test that reflects levels of both of these enzymes in the blood. [5] Assay of butyrylcholinesterase activity in plasma can be used as a liver function test as both hypercholinesterasemia and hypocholinesterasemia indicate pathological processes. The half-life of BCHE ...

  8. CD38 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD38

    About the same time, CD38 was discovered to be not simply a marker of cell types, but an activator of B cells and T cells. [10] In 1992 the enzymatic activity of CD38 was discovered, having the capacity to synthesize the calcium-releasing second messengers cyclic ADP-ribose (cADPR) and nicotinic acid adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NAADP). [10]

  9. Enzyme assay - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enzyme_assay

    Human enzymes start to denature quickly at temperatures above 40 °C. Enzymes from thermophilic archaea found in the hot springs are stable up to 100 °C. [13] However, the idea of an "optimum" rate of an enzyme reaction is misleading, as the rate observed at any temperature is the product of two rates, the reaction rate and the denaturation rate.
