Biochem Physiol Actions: Glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (GPT; alanine aminotransferase, AAT1) is a cytosolic enzyme that is important for metabolism of glucose and amino acids. It catalyzes the formation of pyruvate and glutamate by reversible transmination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate. Activity of this enzyme indicates liver injury due to drug toxicity, alcohol and infection.
