TEXT

Description

Glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.2), also known as alanine aminotransferase, catalyzes the reversible conversion of L-alanine and alpha-ketoglutarate to L-glutamate and pyruvate. It has 2 distinct molecular and genetic forms: one cytoplasmic (soluble) (GPT1) and one mitochondrial (GPT2; 138210).

See ALTQTL1 (612363) and ALTQTL2 (612364) for information on quantitative trait loci influencing the plasma level of alanine aminotransferase.


Cloning and Expression

Sohocki et al. (1997) cloned the human GPT gene by using the homologous rat gene as a probe to screen a human chromosome 8 cosmid library. The GPT1 gene encodes a deduced 495-amino acid protein. By Northern blot analysis, Yang et al. (2002) determined that a 2.1-kb GPT1 transcript is moderately expressed in kidney, liver, heart, and fat. Another GPT1 transcript shows a slightly different expression pattern, with a 3.9-kb transcript expressed at high levels in muscle, fat, kidney, and brain and at lower levels in liver and breast.


Mapping

By studying segregation in hybrids made from a rat hepatoma cell line and various human cells of nonhepatic origin, Kielty et al. (1982) mapped the structural gene for the cytoplasmic hepatic form of GPT to chromosome 8. Studying similar hybrids, Astrin et al. (1982) also found evidence consistent with assignment to chromosome 8. By exclusion mapping applied in family studies, Cook et al. (1982) concluded that GPT1 is on chromosome 8q13-qter.

O'Connell et al. (1987) established linkage between GPT and several markers on the distal part of 8q (8q24). It is noteworthy that other loci in the same region of chromosome 8--MYC (190080) and thyroglobulin (188450)--are coded by chromosome 15 of the mouse, as is GPT. The GPT tested in this case was soluble red cell GPT, as performed by Ferrell (1988). In a child with partial trisomy of chromosomes 8 and 14, Rocha et al. (1988) observed a dosage effect supporting regional assignment of GPT to 8q24.2-qter. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, Sohocki et al. (1997) mapped the human GPT gene to 8q24.3, within 200 kb of the 8q telomere.

Sohocki et al. (1997) used fluorescence in situ hybridization to map the rat GPT gene to 7q33-q34, a region of synteny with human chromosome 8q24.


Gene Structure

Sohocki et al. (1997) determined that the GPT1 gene contains 11 exons spanning approximately 3 kb. They found that the 2 polymorphic isozymes of GPT1 that are frequently used in linkage studies differ by a single nucleotide in codon 14 (138200.0001).


Molecular Genetics

In red cell hemolysates, Chen and Giblett (1971) found polymorphism of the soluble form of glutamate-pyruvate transaminase. Allele frequencies in the GPT system vary considerably in different populations but all those studied were in a range making GPT an efficient marker for study of linkage with other loci. Electrophoretic variants were also studied by Kompf (1971). Data on gene frequencies of allelic variants were tabulated by Roychoudhury and Nei (1988).


History

Linkage of the GOT and GPT loci was suggested by preliminary observations of Chen and Giblett (1971). For linkage between glutamate-pyruvate transaminase and breast cancer (114480), King et al. (1980) found a lod score of 1.84 for 6 families showing linkage and 1.43 for all 11 breast cancer families studied. Preliminary analysis of data in 2 Mormon families brought the lod score to about 2.4. McLellan et al. (1984) obtained a cumulative lod score of -3.86 for breast cancer and GPT, thus eliminating this possible linkage. Sanders et al. (1984) disproved linkage of haptoglobin and GPT1.

In studies of hybrids between human leukocytes and Chinese hamster fibroblasts, Wijnen and Meera Khan (1982) concluded that GPT is on chromosome 16. On the basis of this and other information, these workers suggested that the most likely region of GPT is 16pter-p11. It is possible that they were mapping the GPT2 gene, which was later mapped to 16q12.

Sohocki et al. (1997) determined polymorphism of the soluble GPT protein to be the result of a C-to-A nucleotide substitution in codon 14, resulting in a histidine residue in this position in one allele (which they called GPT1) and a corresponding asparagine residue in the other (which they called GPT2). This substitution results in the loss of a NlaIII (Hsp92II) restriction site (CATG) in the GPT2 allele.
