This test measures the amount of an enzyme called glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (GOT) in your blood. This enzyme is found in the liver, muscles (including the heart), and red blood cells. It is released into the blood when cells that contain it are damaged. Other names for this enzyme are aspartate aminotranskinase, aspartate transaminase, and AST.
