General Description
Alanine Transaminase (ALT), also known as serum alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) or pyruvic transaminase (GPT), facilitates the conversion of alanine and α-ketoglutarate to pyruvate and glutamate. ALT plays an important role in gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism. ALT is found mainly in the liver, and, to a lesser extent, in kidney, heart, muscle, and pancreas tissues. Normal serum levels of ALT are low, and increased serum ALT activity is widely used as a marker for liver damage. Alanine Transaminase Activity Microplate Assay Kit provides a simple and direct procedure for measuring alanine transaminase activity in a variety of samples. This kit is based on the hydrolysis of substrate, reaction product phenylhydrazone can be measured at a colorimetric readout at 520 nm, which is directly proportional to the amount of alanine transaminase activity.
