What is transaminase .explain its fxn ? |
| Answer» Transaminases\xa0or\xa0aminotransferases\xa0are enzymes that catalyze a transamination reaction between an amino acid\xa0and\xa0an α-keto acid. They are important\xa0in\xa0the synthesis of amino acids, which form proteins.\xa0The liver has\xa0transaminases\xa0to synthesize and break down amino acids and to convert energy storage molecules. The concentrations of these\xa0transaminases\xa0in the serum (the non-cellular portion of blood) are normally low.\xa0Transaminitis, sometimes called hypertransaminasemia, refers to having high\xa0levels\xa0of certain liver enzymes called\xa0transaminases. When you have too many enzymes in your liver, they start to move into your blood stream. | |
