Gene:
glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2, mitochondrial (aspartate aminotransferase 2)
Gene ID:
190514
Symbol:
GOT2
Species:
1000
Description:
Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and inner-membrane 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.
