transaminase [trans-am´ĭ-nās]
any of a group of enzymes that catalyze the reversible transfer of an amino group from a donor, usually an amino acid, to an acceptor, usually a 2-keto acid. Most use pyridoxal phosphate as a coenzyme.
transaminase (transam´inās),
n one of several enzymes involved in the reversible transfer of an amino (NH2) group from an α-amino acid to an α-ketoacid, especially α-ketoglutaric acid. Characteristic high values are seen in myocardial infarction and viral hepatitis.
transaminase
an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from one molecule to another.
glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT)
see aspartate aminotransferase (AST).
glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (GPT)
see alanine aminotransferase (ALT).
