Definition and Classification

Transaminases, also known as aminotransferases, are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of an amino group from an amino acid to a keto acid. This process is known as transamination. Transaminases are crucial for the synthesis of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins . They are classified based on the specific amino/keto acid pairs they act upon. For example, alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) are two well-known types .

Biological Properties

Transaminases exhibit several key biological properties:

  • Expression Patterns: Transaminases are expressed in various tissues, with high concentrations in the liver, heart, and muscles .
  • Tissue Distribution: ALT is predominantly found in the liver, while AST is present in both the liver and heart .
Biological Functions

Transaminases play a vital role in:

  • Amino Acid Metabolism: They facilitate the conversion of amino acids to keto acids, which can enter metabolic pathways like the citric acid cycle .
  • Immune Responses and Pathogen Recognition: Transaminases are involved in the synthesis of amino acids necessary for the production of immune cells and antibodies .
Modes of Action

Transaminases operate through a mechanism involving the coenzyme pyridoxal phosphate (PLP). The process can be divided into two half-reactions:

  1. The amino group from an amino acid is transferred to PLP, forming pyridoxamine phosphate.
  2. Pyridoxamine phosphate then transfers the amino group to a keto acid, forming a new amino acid .
Regulatory Mechanisms

The expression and activity of transaminases are regulated through:

  • Transcriptional Regulation: Gene expression of transaminases is controlled by various transcription factors in response to cellular needs .
  • Post-Translational Modifications: Phosphorylation and other modifications can alter the activity of transaminases .
Applications

Transaminases have several applications in biomedical research and clinical practice:

  • Diagnostic Tools: Elevated levels of ALT and AST in the blood are used as biomarkers for liver and heart diseases .
  • Therapeutic Strategies: Transaminases are explored for their potential in developing treatments for metabolic disorders .
Role in the Life Cycle

Throughout the life cycle, transaminases are involved in:

  • Development: They are essential for the synthesis of amino acids required for growth and development .
  • Aging and Disease: Changes in transaminase activity are associated with aging and various diseases, including liver and cardiovascular conditions .
