Anti-Alanine Transaminase/Gpt Antibody Picoband® Fluoro647 Conjugated
Product Specifications
Background
This gene encodes cytosolic alanine aminotransaminase 1 (ALT1) ; also known as glutamate-pyruvate transaminase 1. This enzyme catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate and, therefore, plays a key role in the intermediary metabolism of glucose and amino acids. Serum activity levels of this enzyme are routinely used as a biomarker of liver injury caused by drug toxicity, infection, alcohol, and steatosis. A related gene on chromosome 16 encodes a putative mitochondrial alanine aminotransaminase
