Gamma glutamyltransferase

Description:
Gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of glutathione and the transfer of amino acids across cellular membranes. It is primarily found in the liver, kidneys, and pancreas, and is involved in the synthesis and degradation of glutathione, a key antioxidant in the body. GGT catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl group from glutathione to other amino acids or peptides, facilitating the detoxification processes and the transport of amino acids. The enzyme is often measured in clinical settings as a biomarker for liver function, with elevated levels indicating potential liver damage or disease. GGT is a glycoprotein, and its activity can be influenced by various factors, including alcohol consumption, medications, and certain medical conditions. The CAS number 9046-27-9 identifies this enzyme in chemical databases, aiding in its study and application in both research and clinical diagnostics.
