glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase F. porc heart

Description:
Glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase, commonly referred to as aspartate transaminase (AST), is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism, specifically in the transamination process where it catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from aspartate to α-ketoglutarate, forming glutamate and oxaloacetate. The enzyme is found in various tissues, including the heart, liver, and muscles, with its activity being particularly significant in the heart of the porcine species (F. porc). The CAS number 9000-97-9 identifies this enzyme in biochemical databases. Characteristically, AST is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme, meaning it requires vitamin B6 in its active form for catalytic activity. Its levels in serum are often measured in clinical settings as a marker for liver and heart health, as elevated levels can indicate tissue damage or disease. The enzyme's stability, substrate specificity, and kinetic properties are essential for its function in metabolic pathways, making it a vital component in both physiological and pathological processes.
