Abstract
Amylase, an enzyme that hydrolyzes starch, has been localized in the nasal mucosa for the first time by the protein A-gold technique. The amylase appeared to be produced by serous cells of the nasal glands. This enzyme has the potential for use as a tumor marker for cancer of the nasal cavity. The function of amylase in the physiology of nasal secretions is discussed.Entities:
