Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from alanine to alpha-ketoglutarate, resulting in the formation of glutamate and pyruvate. This enzyme is found primarily in serum and the liver, but can also be found in other body tissues. Our Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Assay Kits provide a simple microplate-based method to measure the activity of ALT in serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, or cell suspensions. Kits are available with either colorimetric or fluorometric detection.
