Alanine Aminotransferase-Old Biomarker and New Concept: A Review
Measurement of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is a common, readily available, and inexpensive laboratory assay in clinical practice. ALT activity is not only measured to detect liver disease, but also to monitor overall health. ALT activity is influenced by various factors, including viral hepatitis, alcohol consumption, and medication. Recently, the impact of metabolic abnormalities on A...
متن کاملAlanine Aminotransferase
An examination of the subcellular distribution of alanine aminotransferase activity in pig cardiac tissue showed that about 10% of the total activity was bound to particulate material, with the highest specific activity in the sarcosomal fraction. The soluble enzyme was obtained in a high state of purity, as indicated by sedimentation velocity, starch gel electrophoresis, and spectral analyses....
متن کاملOptimization of methods for aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase.
Conditions for accurate measurement of catalytic activity of aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase in human serum have been reinvestigated. The basic variables (kind of buffer, buffer concentration, pH, ion effects, and the influence of pyridoxal-5-phosphate) can now be considered optimized. On this basis, the kinetic parameters of both aminotransferases were determined, i.e.,...
متن کاملA recombinant tyrosine aminotransferase from Trypanosoma cruzi has both tyrosine aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase activities.
Tyrosine aminotransferase purified from epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi displays an additional activity of alanine aminotransferase, absent in all other tyrosine aminotransferases characterized so far. Since the parasite's genome contains a high number of copies of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene, we could not rule out the possibility that two very similar proteins, with changed specifici...
متن کاملAlanine Aminotransferase, γ-Glutamyltransferase, and Incident Diabetes
OBJECTIVE To estimate and compare associations of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) with incident diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS ALT and GGT were studied as determinants of diabetes in the British Women's Heart and Health Study, a cohort of 4,286 women 60-79 years old (median follow-up 7.3 years). A systematic review and a meta-analysis of 21 prospectiv...
