Yes, it does.
Liver enzymes are found in normal plasma and serum and can be divided into different groups:
1. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST or SGOT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT or SGPT).

2. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) and gammaglutamyl transferase (GGT) are known as cholestatic liver enzymes.
Use of AST, SGOT, ALT, SGPT, AP and GGT are used by many people as a short hand for the enzymes.
There are more enzymes that are involved in blood clotting.

That is the main job of the liver.

NOT TRUE! The liver produces bile, which emulsifies fats (separates it into small droplets) so they can mix with water and be acted upon by enzymes.

There are no enzymes secreted by the liver, only bile which emulsifies fats and increases the surface area for lipase produced by the pancreas :P
