Gene: GPT2 (glutamic pyruvate transaminase (alanine aminotransferase) 2) Homo sapiens

Symbol:

GPT2

Name:

glutamic pyruvate transaminase (alanine aminotransferase) 2

Description:

This gene encodes one of the two pyridoxal enzymes which catalyze a reversible transamination reaction to yield glutamate and pyruvate so these enzymes participate in amino acid metabolism and gluconeogenesis. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2011]

Type:

protein-coding

RefSeq Status:

VALIDATED

Also known as:

alanine aminotransferase 2; ALT2; glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2; glutamic--alanine transaminase 2; glutamic--pyruvic transaminase 2; glutamic-pyruvate transaminase 2; GPT 2; OTTHUMP00000163363
