Entrez ID 84706
Gene name Glutamic--pyruvic transaminase 2
Gene symbol GPT2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ALT2GPT 2MRT49NEDSPM
Chromosome 16
Chromosome location 16q11.2
Summary This gene encodes a mitochondrial alanine transaminase, a pyridoxal enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate. Alanine transaminases play roles in gluconeogenesis and amino ac
