MEASUREMENT METHODS - ANNOTATIONS

The Clinical Measurement Ontology (CMO), Measurement Methods Ontology (MMO), and Experimental Condition Ontology (XCO) are currently being developed at the Rat Genome Database. For more information about these vocabularies please see Shimoyama et al. Three ontologies to define phenotype measurement data. Front Genet. 2012;3:87.

Definition:This is a method using a device designed to follow a predetermined sequence of individual operations repeatedly and essentially without external influence or control to measure the enzymatic activity of glutamic-pyruvate transaminase enzyme, commonly known as alanine transaminase or alanine aminotransferase (ALT), enzyme in a specified sample of serum, i.e. blood plasma from which clotting factors have been removed. ALT catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate. Serum ALT level is used as an enzymatic marker for liver disease or damage.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: automated serum ALT activity assay;   automated serum GPT activity assay;   automated serum alanine transaminase activity assay;   automated serum glutamic-pyruvate transaminase activity assay
