Preferred Label : aspartate aminotransferase;
Definition : Aspartate transaminase (AST) or aspartate aminotransferase, also known as AspAT/ASAT/AAT
or (serum) glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT, SGOT), is a pyridoxal phosphate
(PLP)-dependent transaminase enzyme (EC 2.6.1.1) that was first described by Arthur
Karmen and colleagues in 1954. AST catalyzes the reversible transfer of an α-amino
group between aspartate and glutamate and, as such, is an important enzyme in amino
acid metabolism. (Wikipedia);
