Yale - Alanine Aminotransferase v1 [PDF]
, 2019 Summary: Procedure used to measure the Alanine Amino activity in blood, plasma, and serum. Alanine Amino (ALT) activity is measured by the enzymatically coupled reactions of ALT (to form pyruvate from alanine and α-ketoglutarate) and Lactate dehydrogenase (conversion of pyruvate to lactate with oxdiation of NADH to NAD).
