ALT2/GPT2, also known as alanine aminotransferase, catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. Subsequently, they play a key role in the intermediary metabolism of glucose and amino acids. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-522 from mouse ALT2/GPT2 fused to His-Tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli. Molecular Weight: ~60.1kD (542aa) confirmed by MALDI-TOF Endotoxin: ~1EU/1ug (LAL) Biological Activity: Specific activity is > 50units/mg, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that cleaves 1umole of L-Alanine to L-Glutamate per minuteat pH7.5 at 37C.
