    text efficiently packaged into COPII vesicles and cycled rapidly between the ER and Golgi compartments (Lorente-Rodríguez 2009)
    basic FUNCTION
  • playing a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles
  • may have an unexpected role in vesicle formation from the ER by influencing membrane properties (Lorente-Rodríguez 2009)
  • is essential for redox balance and growth in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma
  • GOT1 may play a role in the maintenance of cellular redox homeostasis
  • plays an important role in energy metabolism and ROS balance in chronic acidosis stress
  • regulates cellular metabolism through coordinating the utilization of carbohydrates and amino acids to meet nutrient requirements
  • is crucial to provide oxaloacetate at low glucose levels, likely to maintain the redox homeostasis
  • GOT1, GOT2 catalyze the reversible interconversion of oxaloacetate and glutamate into aspartate and alpha-ketoglutarate
