What Does AAT Stand For?
AAT stands for Aspartate Aminotransferase
AAT, or Aspartate Aminotransferase, is an enzyme primarily found in the liver, heart, muscles, and kidneys. It plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism by catalyzing the transfer of an amino group from aspartate to ?-ketoglutarate, resulting in the production of oxaloacetate and glutamate. Elevated levels of AAT in the bloodstream can indicate liver injury or disease, making it a significant marker in clinical diagnostics for liver function and health assessments.
