alanine aminotransferase (ALT) an enzyme normally present in the serum and tissues of the body, especially the tissues of the liver. This enzyme catalyzes the transfer of an amino group from alanine to alpha-ketoglutarate, forming pyruvate and glutamate. The reaction is reversible.

Also called alanine transferase, glutamic pyruvic transferase, serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (SGPT).
