- CE/IVD:
- RUO
- Extra Details:
- Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms, GOT1 and GOT2, respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

- Plasma, Serum
- Range:
- 2 - 100 U/l
- Reactivities:
- Human, Mouse, Other Mammal, Rat
- Sensitivity:
- 2 U/l
- Shipping Conditions:

- Specificity:
- Aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT/AAT) facilitates the conversion of aspartate and alpha-ketoglutarate to oxaloacetate and glutamate. And then oxaloacetate and NADH are converted to malate and NAD by malate dehydrogenase. Therefore, the decrease in NADH absorbance at 340 nm is proportionate to AST activity.
