Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), also know as Glutamic aspartic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and transaminase A., is an enzyme that is a member of the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.It is coded by the gene GOT1. It is a homodimer that is 413 amino acids long and serves a critical role in amino acid metabolism. Within prokaryote cells it is exclusively found in the cytosol, but in eukaryotic cells there are cytosol, mitochondrial, and chloroplast isozymes. | Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST), also know as Glutamic aspartic transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and transaminase A., is an enzyme that is a member of the class-I pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.It is coded by the gene GOT1.
