Figure 3. Fundamental of glutamate scavenging.

Glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) transforms glutamate and oxaloacetate into aspartate and alpha-ketoglutarate by transferring the amino group from glutamate to oxaloacetate and replacing the amino group of glutamate with a carbonyl group [34]
