SGOT - Glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase (C0242192)

Definition (NCI) An enzyme found in the liver, heart, and other tissues. A high level of serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase released into the blood may be a sign of liver or heart damage, cancer, or other diseases.
Definition (NCI) Activity measured as a test of liver function, 46/47-kDa homodimeric human Aspartate Aminotransferases (Class-I Pyridoxal-Phosphate-Dependent Aminotransferase Family) are pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzymes involved in amino acid metabolism and in the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. (NCI)
