Native Human Glutamic-Pyruvate Transaminase (alanine aminotransferase)

• Cat.No.: GPT-5344H
• Product Overview: Native Human GPT isprepared from Human Liver.

Specification

• Cat. No.: GPT-5344H
• Description: GPTis an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amino group fromalanine to α-ketoglutarate. Human GPT is found in serum and in various bodilytissues but is most commonly associated with the liver.
• Form: Ammonia Sulphatesuspension.
• Source: Human Liver
• Molecular Weight: 100 kDa
• Specific Activity: >10 U/mg protein
• Endotoxin Level: < 0.1 ng/ug ofprotein
• Biological Activity: > 50 U/ml at37°C. One unit will catalyze the transamination of one micromole of L-alanineto α-ketoglutarate, forming L-glutamate and pyruvate per minute at 37°C andpH 7.8. Measured at 340 nm as one equimolar amount of NAD produced by acoupled reaction.
• Storage: Store at 2-4°C.Stable for 1 year.
