Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GPT; alanine aminotransferase, AAT1) is a cytosolic enzyme that is important for metabolism of glucose and amino acids. It catalyzes the formation of pyruvate and glutamate by reversible transmination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate. Activity of this enzyme indicates liver injury due to drug toxicity, alcohol and infection.

Sequence

Synthetic peptide located within the following region: RRVEYAVRGPIVQRALELEQELRQGVKKPFTEVIRANIGDAQAMGQRPIT

Physical form

Purified antibody supplied in 1x PBS buffer with 0.09% (w/v) sodium azide and 2% sucrose.

Increasing evidence suggests an association between elevated serum aminotransferase levels and metabolic disorders (metabolic syndrome, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus). However, the significance of relatively low levels of aminotransferases in relation to metabolic disorders has not been fully investigated in the
