Aspartate aminotransferase, Genetically engineered bacteria

Aspartate aminotransferase, Genetically engineered bacteria (EC 2.6.1.1) (AST) is a transaminase enzyme, is often used in biochemical studies. Aspartate aminotransferase catalyzes aspartate and alpha-ketoglutarate converts to oxaloacetate and glutamate. Aspartate aminotransferase can be found in cerebrospinal fluid, exudates, and transudates[1].
