Aspartate aminotransferase cytoplasmic is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GOT1 gene.Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms GOT1 and GOT2 respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology.
