  • What are the aminotransferase enzymes (ALT, AST)? (medicinenet.com)
  • The aminotransferase enzymes catalyze chemical reactions in which an amino group from one amino acid (amino acids are building blocks of proteins) is transferred from a donor molecule to a recipient molecule, hence, the name 'aminotransferases. (medicinenet.com)
  • Participants were classified as having elevated aminotransferase levels if either aspartate aminotransferase or alanine aminotransferase was elevated above normal. (nih.gov)
