High impact information on ALT2

  • When expressed in COS-1 cells, the cDNA causes a 5-7-fold increase of GPT activity in membrane fractions [1].
  • Several portions of the hamster GPT sequence constituting one-third of the protein have 60% or greater identity with yeast GPT, and one-half of the conserved sequence falls within the hydrophobic segments [1].
  • In the mice fed sake yeast, ethanol-induced increases in triglyceride (TG) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) were significantly attenuated and hepatic steatosis was improved [2].
