  This product has been assayed against 1.0 µg of Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) [Pig Heart] in a standard sandwich ELISA using Peroxidase conjugated Affinity Purified Goat anti-Sheep IgG [H&L] (R1364HRP) and ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis-[3-ethylbenthiazoline-6-sulfonic acid]) as a substrate for 30 minutes at room temperature.
  A working dilution of 1/4,000 to 1/16,000 of the reconstitution concentration is suggested for this product.

• Background: Aspartate Aminotransferase [Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase] is a ubiquitous pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in both mitochondrial and cytosolic forms. The enzyme plays an important role in amino acid metabolism and in the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The 2 isoenzymes are homodimeric. In liver about 80% of the enzyme activity is mitochondrial in origin, whereas in serum the enzyme activity is largely cytosolic. Although the mitochondrial and soluble forms of GOT are coded by different chromosomes, the 2 show close homology in amino acid sequence and were presumably derived from a common ancestral gene.
  Serum GOT [with SGPT] levels are usually elevated in states of hepatocellular injury (injury to the liver cells), the highest levels are associated with hepatitis of a viral origin. High levels are also found after myocardial infarction, when SGPT levels are lower.
• Synonyms: Aspartate aminotransferase, Transaminase A
• Note: Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is also referred to as Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase (GOT).
