A novel and economic method to assess clinical transaminase assays

Dr. Jayaprada Rao C

Abstract :

 Amino–transaminases are involved in the transfer of amino group from α amino acid to α oxo acid, an impor – tant step in the metabolism of amino acids. The two clinically significant enzymes of this category of amino– transaminases are alanine –aminotransferase, aspartine–aminotransferases which have diagnostic importance. The standard method of estimation has been developed by Reitman and Frankel(1957) method based on colorimetry. The modified versions have been used in the assessment of these two enzymes in the form of commercial kits developed by different companies for the assay and education purpose. An attempt has been made to develop a kit only for educational purpose where the serum need not be used. The kit is easy , cheap and simple to develop, with shelf life of six months and can be utilised at large scale.
