Active Recombinant human ALT2/GPT2 Protein, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: GPT2-01H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human GPT2 protein (1-523aa), fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Specification

• Description: This gene encodes a mitochondrial alanine transaminase, a pyridoxal enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate. Alanine transaminases play roles in gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism in many tissues including skeletal muscle, kidney, and liver. Activating transcription factor 4 upregulates this gene under metabolic stress conditions in hepatocyte cell lines. A loss of function mutation in this gene has been associated with developmental encephalopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
