GPT

Functionⁱ

Catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. Participates in cellular nitrogen metabolism and also in liver gluconeogenesis starting with precursors transported from skeletal muscles (By similarity).By similarity

Catalytic activityⁱ

L-alanine + 2-oxoglutarate = pyruvate + L-glutamate.

Cofactorⁱ

pyridoxal 5'-phosphate

Pathwayⁱ: L-alanine degradation via transaminase pathway

This protein is involved in step 1 of the subpathway that synthesizes pyruvate from L-alanine.
Proteins known to be involved in this subpathway in this organism are:

Alanine aminotransferase 2 (GPT2), Alanine aminotransferase 1 (GPT)

This subpathway is part of the pathway L-alanine degradation via transaminase pathway, which is itself part of Amino-acid degradation.
View all proteins of this organism that are known to be involved in the subpathway that synthesizes pyruvate from L-alanine, the pathway L-alanine degradation via transaminase pathway and in Amino-acid degradation.
