What Does GPT Stand For?
GPT stands for Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase
GPT, or Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase, is an enzyme primarily found in the liver that plays a crucial role in amino acid metabolism by facilitating the transfer of an amino group from glutamate to pyruvate, forming alanine and ?-ketoglutarate. It is often measured in clinical settings as a biomarker for liver health, as elevated levels may indicate liver damage or disease.
