| ALT | ALanine Transaminase(aminoTransferase) = SGPT |
| D-amino acid transaminase | <enzyme> Catalyses the alpha,beta elimination of the (d)-isomer of beta-chloroalanine or other amino acids to yield pyruvate, chloride and ammonia Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- (26 Jun 1999) |
|---|---|
| ornithine-oxo-acid transaminase | <enzyme> A pyridoxal phosphate enzyme that catalyses the formation of glutamate gamma-saemialdehyde and an l-amino acid from l-ornithine and a 2-keto-acid. Chemical name: L-Ornithine:2-oxo-acid aminotransferase Registry number: EC 2.6.1.13 (12 Dec 1998) |
| ornithine transaminase | <enzyme> An enzyme that will reversibly catalyze the reaction of alpha-ketoglutarate and l-ornithine to form l-glutamate and l-glutamate gamma-saemialdehyde; a deficiency of this enzyme will result in gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina. Synonym: ornithine transaminase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| transaminase | <enzyme> A subclass of enzymes that catalyse the transfer of an amino group from a donor (generally an amino acid) to an acceptor (generally 2 keto acid) in a cyclic process using pyridoxal phosphate as cofactor, for example aspartate amino transferase catalyses the reaction: aspartate + ketoglutarate = oxaloacetate + glutamate. (18 Nov 1997) |
| tyrosine-repressible transaminase | <enzyme> From E coli; catalyses the amination of 2-ketoisocaproate to leucine; encoded by tyrb; a functional leuabcd operon is required for leucine synthesis by this enzyme Registry number: EC 2.6.1.- Synonym: transaminase d, tyrosine-2-ketoisocaproate aminotransferase (26 Jun 1999) |
| tyrosine transaminase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the conversion of l-tyrosine and 2-oxoglutarate to 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate and l-glutamate. It is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein. L-phenylalanine can act instead of l-tyrosine. The mitochondrial enzyme may be identical with aspartate transaminase (ec 2.6.1.1.). Chemical name: L-Tyrosine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase Registry number: EC 2.6.1.5 (12 Dec 1998) |
| 2,4-diaminobutyric acid transaminase | <enzyme> Catalyses conversion of l-aspartate beta-saemialdehyde to l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid Registry number: EC 2.6.1.46 Synonym: ectb gene product (26 Jun 1999) |
| 4-aminobutyrate transaminase | <enzyme> An enzyme that converts brain gamma-aminobutyric acid (gaba) into succinate saemialdehyde, which can be converted to succinic acid and enter the citric acid cycle. It also acts on beta-alanine. Chemical name: 4-Aminobutanoate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase Registry number: EC 2.6.1.19 (12 Dec 1998) |
| acidified serum test | Lysis of the patient's red cells in acidified fresh serum, specific for paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria. Synonym: Ham's test. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anticomplementary serum | Serum that destroys or inactivates complement. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antiepithelial serum | An antiserum (cytotoxin) for epithelial cells. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anti-kidney serum nephritis | Experimental glomerulonephritis produced by injection of antiserum to kidney. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antilymphocyte serum | Immunoglobulins raised xenogeneically against lymphocyte populations. Referring particularly to antisera recognising one or more antigenic determinants on T-cell populations. Of use in experimental immunosuppression. (18 Nov 1997) |
| antirabies serum | A sterile solution containing antibodies obtained from the blood serum or plasma of a healthy animal, or human, that has been immunised against rabies by means of vaccine; administered immediately after severe or multiple bites by domestic animals suspected to be rabid and in all wild animal bites, to be followed by a regimen of rabies vaccine. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antireticular cytotoxic serum | An antiserum specific for cells of the reticuloendothelial system. (05 Mar 2000) |
