Basic Information
ID:
PDE024002528.1
Term:
Aspartate aminotransferase
Abbreviation:
Platform:
General physical examination with blood laboratory tests
Detection item:
Routine physical examination
Data type:
Numeric type
Description:
The amount of enzymatic activity of glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase enzyme, commonly known as aspartate transaminase or aspartate aminotransferase (AST), in a specified sample of blood. AST catalyzes the reversible transfer of an amine group from l-glutamic acid to oxaloacetic acid, forming alpha-ketoglutaric acid and l-aspartic acid. Blood AST level is used as an enzymatic marker for liver disease or damage.
