ALT – alanine aminotransferase:
alanine + 2-oxoglutarate pyruvate + glutamate
AST – aspartate aminotransferase:
aspartate+ 2-oxoglutarate oxaloacetate+ glutamate
Localization: mainly liver, muscle, kidneyALT – cytosol, AST –cytosol and mitochondria!
Metabolic significance:ALT, AST – catabolism andi biosynthesis of alanine/aspartate,ALT – important for utilization of muscle protein AA for gluconeogenesis
(glucose-alanine cycle)AST – replenishment of oxalacetate for CC (anaplerotic reaction),
transport of oxalacetate across mitochondrial membrane (gluconeogenesis),important for the function of malate dehydrogenase shuttle and urea syntesis(formation of aspartate as a donor of one nitrogen atom ofthe urea)
Diagnostic value:ALT, AST – markers of liver injury (hepatocellular necrosis),AST – blood level increases at myocardial infarction (not used as a marker in the present
IM diagnostics)
ALT, AST – important aminotransferases/transaminases

Urea cycle – formation of urea
- NH3 enters intu the cycle after formationof carbamoyl phosphate
- carbamoyl phosphate formation fromNH3, CO2, ATP catalyzescarbamoylphosphate synthetase I
– enzyme located in hepatocytemitochondriaonly !
-carbamoyl phosphateis also precursorof pyrimidine nucleotides – formation incytosol – catalyzed by carbamoylphosphate synthetase II,source of its NH2-group is glutamine(! not NH3)

Regulation of urea synthesis
1. A substrate delivery- low-protein diet - decreased AA intake decreased NH3 formation
low activity of urea cycle, decreased urea level in urine
- high-protein diet, fasting (degradation of muscle proteins) - increased AA deliveryinto liver increased activity of urea cycle
2. N-acetylglutamate– allosteric activator of carbamoyl phosphate synthetase I (essential for the enzyme activity)formation from glutamate – increased at higher AA delivery= at protein degradation -explanation of increased
ureagenesis in fasting
Genetic defects of urea cycle enzymeshyperammonemia – partial deficit can be treated by low-protein diet and
suplementation of food with arginine (precursor of ornithine)- significantly decreased activities of ureagenetic enzymes -incompatible with life

Hyperammonemia
1. liver cirrhosis (alcoholic), hepatitis, obstruction ofbile duct⇒ NH3 from GIT enters via portal blood→ directly into systemic circulation
2. genetic defects of enzymes of ureagenesis→ inhibition of urea synthesis→ NH3 cannot be detoxified⇒ vomiting, lethargy, coma , serious brain
damage, death
Ammonia toxicity (namely forCNS) –suggested mechanisms
Brain: NH3 + α−ketoglutarate glutamate
decreased mitochondrial level→ inhibition of citric acid cycle(substrate depletion)
→ decreased ATP synthesisNH3 + glutamate glutamine
