GPT2 Polyclonal Antibody

GPT2 (glutamic--pyruvic transaminase 2) encodes a mitochondrial alanine transaminase, a pyridoxal enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate. Alanine transaminases play roles in gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism in many tissues including skeletal muscle, kidney, and liver. Activating transcription factor 4 upregulates this gene under metabolic stress conditions in hepatocyte cell lines. A loss of function mutation in GPT2 has been associated with developmental encephalopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
