    An enzyme facilitates the reversible exchange of an amino group between alanine and alpha-ketoglutarate, resulting in the creation of glutamate and pyruvate. This enzyme is present in both serum and various body tissues, with a notable concentration in the liver. The serum enzyme activity, known as SGPT, sees a significant rise in cases of liver…

  • Glucose-6-phosphatase

    This is an enzyme responsible for facilitating the removal of a phosphate group from glucose 6-phosphate. It is found in the endoplasmic reticulum of the liver, kidney, and intestinal mucosa, but not in muscle tissue. The reaction it catalyzes is a crucial step in hepatic gluconeogenesis, playing a significant role in regulating blood glucose levels.…
