Active Native Porcine Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase (GPT), Alanine Transaminase (ALT)

• Cat.No.: GPT-189P
• Product Overview: Native Porcine GPT was purified from Porcine Heart.

Specification

• Species: Porcine
• Source: Porcine Heart
• Tag: Non
• Description: 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.
• Form: Lyophilized from tris-HCl, sodium chloride, EDTA, DTE, a-ketoglutarate and phridoxal-5-phosphate
• Bio-activity: > 80 U/mg protein
• Molecular Mass: ~100 kDa
