abstract We measured hepatic alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) activity using capillary electrophoresis. After rat liver homogenate was incubated in the presence of substrates and pyridoxal 5'-phosphate, the pyruvate and glycine produced by AGT were measured. The AGT activity was 10.02+/-0.31 &mgr;mol pyruvate/h/mg protein and 10.21+/-0.15 &mgr;mol glycine/h/mg protein. This method is relatively simple and shows superior sensitivity, allowing the measurement of enzyme activity in 5 &mgr;g of protein. Therefore, it appears to be suitable for laboratory use and may also have advantages for measuring AGT activity in liver biopsy specimens.
