From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Alanine transaminase (ALT) is a transaminase enzyme (EC 2.6.1.2). It is also called alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and was formerly called serum glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (SGPT) or serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase (SGPT) and was first characterized in the mid-1950s by Arthur Karmen and colleagues.
Alanine is an aliphatic amino acid, because the side-chain connected to the Î±-carbon atom is a methyl group (-CH 3), making it the simplest Î±-amino acid except for glycine. The methyl side-chain of alanine is non-reactive and is therefore hardly ever directly involved in protein function.
