Product Overview
Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) is an aminotransferase enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-aspartate and α-ketoglutarate into glutamate and oxaloacetate. AST is highly abundant in the liver, myocardium, and skeletal muscle and is released into the bloodstream due to increased cell permeability or cell death. Therefore, it serves as a marker for organ damage, including liver injury. AST is also useful indicators of liver fibrosis caused by conditions such as metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).
LabAssay™ AST (GOT) is a kit used for the determination of AST in blood (serum, plasma). With the use of a microplate, this kit provides a quick and convenient method for measuring AST in samples.
[Note] LabAssay™ series are reagents for research purposes. It cannot be used for diagnostic purposes.

Example of Calibration Curve
Principle
When a sample is mixed with Substrate-Enzyme Solution and α-KG Solution, glutamate and oxaloacetate are formed from L-aspartate and α-ketoglutarate in a reaction catalyzed by AST in the sample. The oxaloacetate thus produced is converted to malate by malate dehydrogenase (MDH). At the same time, NADH is oxidized to NAD, and the absorbance at 340 nm decreases. Finally, the reaction is stopped using a reaction Stop Solution, and the absorbance is measured to determine the AST activity value in the sample.
Data
Dilution linearity test
Serum and plasma (EDTA) from mice, rats, dogs and cats were subjected to a 2-fold serial dilution with buffer in this kit and measured to confirm linearity (measured in duplicates).
[Result]
Good linearity was confirmed for all samples within the calibration curve range.
Spiked recovery test
Standard solutions at three concentrations were added to serum/plasma (EDTA) from mice, rats, dogs and cats. Next, spike-recovery tests were conducted, with each measurement performed in duplicate.

FAQ
About sample
- Which anticoagulants can I use?
- Anticoagulants such as heparin, citrate and EDTA do not significantly influence the assay when used in normal amounts.
- What should I do with samples that exceed the measurable range?
- Dilute specimen with saline and repeat the assay if the measured value exceeds the measurable range, and multiply the result by the dilution factor.
- Is there any influence from substances that interfere with measurement (hemolysis, chyle, ascorbic acid, bilirubin, etc.)?
- Please treat the measured values of hemolyzed samples as reference values. Chyle, ascorbic acid, and bilirubin have almost no effect on the measured values. We have confirmed that there is no influence at the following concentrations.
Effects of interfering substances
Hemolysis No influence up to 25 mg/dL Chyle No influence up to 500 FTU Ascorbic acid No influence up to 50 mg/dL Bilirubin-F No influence up to 50 mg/dL Bilirubin-C No influence up to 10 mg/dL
