We report a case of unexplained and persistently elevated ASAT activity in serum. This appeared to be due to a macro-enzyme of ASAT, as was demonstrated by protein-A-Sepharose treatment of the serum sample. Although macro-ASAT seems to be clinically irrelevant, unexplained raised ASAT activity without acknowledgement of its macroenzyme nature may lead to unnecessary diagnostic procedures.
我们报告一例血清中天门冬氨酸氨基转移酶(ASAT)活性不明且持续升高的病例。血清样本经蛋白A-琼脂糖凝胶处理后表明,这种情况似乎是由ASAT的一种巨酶所致。尽管巨ASAT在临床上似乎无关紧要,但未认识到其巨酶性质而出现的不明原因ASAT活性升高可能会导致不必要的诊断程序。
