Aspartate Transaminase ('''AST''') also called '''Serum Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase''' ('''SGOT''') or '''aspartate aminotransferase''' ('''ASAT''') () is similar to Alanine Transaminase (ALT) in that it is another enzyme associated with liver parenchymal cells. It is raised in acute liver damage. It is also present in Red Blood Cell s and Cardiac Muscle .
