Gene information for GPT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID84706
Official gene symbolGPT2
Full nameglutamic pyruvate transaminase (alanine aminotransferase) 2
Aliases,ALT2,
Gene summaryGPT (MIM 138200) and GPT2 (EC 2.6.1.2), also known as alanine transaminases, are pyridoxal enzymes that catalyze the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. By mediating the conversion of these 4 major intermediate metabolites, these transaminases have roles in gluconeogenesis and in amino acid metabolism.[supplied by OMIM]
