Related Product Information for ASP5 active protein

MyBioSource is a producer and supplier of human liver enzyme Aspartate Aminotransferase/Glutamate Oxaloacetate Transaminase (AST/GOT) for research and clinical assays for liver disease.

Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available.

AST/SGOT is found in many tissues throughout the body, including the liver, heart, muscles, kidney, and brain. If any of these organs or tissues is affected by disease or injury, AST is released into the bloodstream. This means that AST isn't as specific an indicator of liver damage as ALT (also known as alanine aminotransferase, another type of enzyme found almost entirely in the liver).

NCBI Description

encodes a plastid-localized aspartate aminotransferase

Uniprot Description

Amino acid aminotransferase important for the metabolism of amino acids and Krebs-cycle related organic acids. No activity with D-Asp or D-Ala as amino donors. In plants, it is involved in nitrogen metabolism and in aspects of carbon and energy metabolism.
