Summary of GPT
Also known as DPAGT1, it encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the first step in glycoprotein biosynthesis. Mutations can cause muscle weakness and developmental disorders (R).

The Function of GPT
Catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to form pyruvate and glutamate. Participates in cellular nitrogen metabolism and also in liver gluconeogenesis starting with precursors transported from skeletal muscles.
