Active Native Swine Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase

• Cat.No.: GPT-188S
• Product Overview: Purified Native Porcine Heart Glutamate Pyruvate Transaminase. CAS Number: 9000-86-6; E.C. Number: 2.6.1.2

Specification

• Species: Pig
• Source: Porcine Heart
• Tag: Non
• Description: The Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) blood test is typically used to detect liver injury. It is often ordered in conjunction with Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or as part of a liver panel to screen for and/or help diagnose liver disease. AST and ALT are considered to be two of the most important tests to detect liver injury, although ALT is more specific than AST. Sometimes AST is compared directly to ALT and an AST/ALT ratio is calculated. This ratio may be used to distinguish between different causes of liver damage.
