In enzymology, a taurine-2-oxoglutarate transaminase (EC 2.6.1.55) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction.

taurine + 2-oxoglutarate sulfoacetaldehyde + L-glutamate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are taurine and 2-oxoglutarate, whereas its two products are sulfoacetaldehyde and L-glutamate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically the transaminases, which transfer nitrogenous groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is taurine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase. Other names in common use include taurine aminotransferase, taurine transaminase, taurine-alpha-ketoglutarate aminotransferase, and taurine-glutamate transaminase. This enzyme participates in beta-alanine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.

Aspartate transaminase (AST) or aspartate aminotransferase, also known as AspAT/ASAT/AAT or (serum) glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, is a pyridoxal phosphate (PLP)-dependent transaminase enzyme that was first described by Arthur Karmen and colleagues in 1954. AST catalyzes the reversible transfer of an α-amino group between aspartate and glutamate and, as such, is an important enzyme in amino acid metabolism. AST is found in the liver, heart, skeletal muscle, kidneys, brain, red blood cells and gall bladder. Serum AST level, serum ALT level, and their ratio are commonly measured clinically as biomarkers for liver health. The tests are part of blood panels.
