Abcam, ab244121, Human ALT Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free

Size: 10 x 96Tests
Human ALT Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free is a kit containing recombinant capture and detector antibodies in a carrier-free formulation for the measurement of Human ALT.
Key facts
Reacts with:Human,
Assay type:ELISA set,
Range:109.38 - 7000 pg/mL,
Assay Platform:Reagents

Product details:
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human ALT. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include unconjugated capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Both capture and detector antibodies are rabbit monoclonal antibodies delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (
ab234578
), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

Alanine transaminase also known as ALT or alanine aminotransferase is an important enzyme in the body. It has a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa and catalyzes the conversion between alanine and pyruvate by transferring an amino group. ALT is mainly expressed in the liver but also present in other tissues like the heart and muscles. It is often measured as 'ALT activity' in clinical settings to ascertain liver health. In laboratories an 'ALT assay' or 'ALT kit' can determine alanine transaminase activity.
Biological function summary
Alanine transaminase plays a critical role in amino acid metabolism and energy production. It facilitates the transamination process which is significant for the balance of amino acids and carbohydrates. ALT as a standalone enzyme does not form part of a protein complex but works closely with alanine aminotransferase reactions. It helps maintain the cellular nitrogen balance linking nitrogen metabolism with energy pathways.
Pathways
The role of alanine transaminase is to interconnect carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism. It participates in the gluconeogenesis pathway and the citric acid cycle important for energy production. Through its activity in these pathways it interacts with proteins like aspartate aminotransferase (AST) affecting the balance of amino and keto acids in cells.
Alanine transaminase levels indicate liver conditions such as hepatitis and liver cirrhosis. Elevated ALT activity suggests liver damage or inflammation. It also connects to conditions involving muscular injury. In these scenarios increased presence and activity of AST often accompany ALT providing a broader picture of the extent of tissue damage. Understanding the involvement of ALT in these pathways helps diagnose and monitor the progression of relevant health issues.
