Gene:
glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, soluble (aspartate aminotransferase 1)
Gene ID:
196211
Symbol:
GOT1
Species:
1000
Description:
Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms, GOT1 and GOT2, respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology.
