In humans:
* GOT1/cAST, the cytosolic isoenzyme derives mainly from red blood cells and heart.
* GOT2/mAST, the mitochondrial isoenzyme is present predominantly in liver.

These isoenzymes are thought to have evolved from a common ancestral AST via gene duplication, and they share a sequence homology of approximately 45%.
