Pancreatic elastase 1 is secreted from pancreatic acinar cells as one of the digestive enzymes. Pancreatic elastase 1 is present in serum in a complex formation with alpha 1-antitrypsin, and is measured by immunological methods. Serum pancreatic elastase 1 increases in acute pancreatitis and chronic relapsing pancreatitis. As the serum level remains high for a long period after acute pancreatitis, serum pancreatic elastase 1 is also a tumor marker for the detection of early pancreatic cancer.
