| SGPT |
Alanine transaminase or ALT is (mostly) a liver enzyme (EC 2.6.1.2). It is also called serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) or alanine aminotransferrase (ALAT). This enzyme is release into the plasma by liver cell death, a normal event. However, when liver cell death increases, ALT levels rise above the normal range. The spillover of this enzyme into blood is routinely measured as a marker of abnormal liver-cell damage. ...

An enzyme released into the bloodstream due to injury or disease affecting the liver: it is found mainly in blood serum and hepatic tissues. SGPT levels are checked for suspected liver disease and mononucleosis, or to monitor the effect of long-term drug therapy on the liver (see ALT).
