GPT, Active

SYNONYMS
Alanine aminotransferase 1, ALT1, EC 2.6.1.2, Glutamate pyruvate transaminase 1, GPT 1, Glutamic--alanine transaminase 1, Glutamic--pyruvic transaminase 1, GPT, AAT1, GPT1.

INTRODUCTION
Alanine transaminase or ALT is a transaminaseenzyme.
ALT is found in serumand in various bodily tissues, but is most commonly associated with the liver; It catalyzes the transfer of an aminogroup from alanineto a-ketoglutarate, the products of this reversible transaminationreaction being pyruvateand glutamatealanine+ a-ketoglutarate= pyruvate+ glutamate
It is commonly measured clinically as a part of a diagnostic liver function test, to determine liver health. It is also called serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) or alanine aminotransferase (ALAT). Diagnostically, it is almost always measured in units/litre (U/L).

DESCRIPTION
Alanine Aminotransferase Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a homodimer, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 495a.a and having a molecular mass of 54,479 Dalton. The amino acid sequence is the same as that of native form of human liver ALT.
The ALT is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
