products description :
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. 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+ glutamateIt 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).

ncbi summary :
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.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]
