Alanine Aminotransferase

Preferred Label : Alanine Aminotransferase;

NCIt synonyms : ALT; SGPT-ALT Protein; Serum Glutamate-Pyruvate Transaminase; EC 2.6.1.2; ALAT; SGPT (ALT); Alanine Transaminase; Serum Glutamic-Pyruvic Transaminase;

NCIt related terms : SGPT; serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase; alanine transferase;

NCIt definition : A family of pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes involved in cellular nitrogen metabolism, amino acid metabolism, and liver gluconeogenesis. Alanine aminotransferase specifically and reversibly catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from L-alanine to alpha-ketoglutarate forming pyruvate and L-glutamate.;

Alternative definition : NCI-GLOSS: An enzyme found in the liver and other tissues. A high level of serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase released into the blood may be a sign of liver damage, cancer, or other diseases.;

Codes from synonyms : CDR0000372947; CDR0000372944; CDR0000372943;
