Uses
It is used for research and clinical diagnostic assays for liver disease. Alanine transaminase (GPT/ALT) is used in multi-analyte clinical chemistry controls and calibrators for major IVD manufacturers. The alanine aminotransferase (ALT) blood test is typically used to detect liver injury. Some of the other applications include Diagnostic Controls, calibrators & standards, immunoassays, clinical chemistry, testing/assay validation, life Science, manufacturing, validation Studies.
General Description
Glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) is localized majorly in the liver.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT) mediates the transfer of the amino group to α-ketoglutarate from l-alanine. It plays a key role in gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism. The role of GPT in various kinds of tumors has been reported.
Description
GPT Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 516 amino acids (1-496) and having a molecular mass of 56.8 kDa.
GPT is fused to a 20 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Background
GPT catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to create pyruvate and glutamate. GPT has a crucial part in the intermediary metabolism of glucose and amino acids. GPT is broadly used as an indicator of liver reliability or hepatocellular destruction in clinical tests.
