General description
Gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase is a heterodimeric enzyme and belongs to the superfamily of N-terminal nucleophile hydrolases.
Application
Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase from equine kidney has been used:
- to identify the formation of 4-S-Cysteinyltetrodotoxin in the liver of Fugu pardalis
- as a standard to determine the activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase from human B-cell lymphoma cell lysates
- to hydrolyze isopeptides to study its effects on tubulin aggregation
Biochem/physiol Actions
Gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase participates in glutathione metabolism and it catalyzes the cleavage of gamma-glutamyl compounds, such as glutathione. It also plays a role in the transfer of gamma-glutamyl moiety to amino acids and peptides.

Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gammaGT), a member of the N-terminal nucleophile hydrolase superfamily, initiates extracellular glutathione reclamation by cleaving the gamma-glutamyl amide bond of the tripeptide. This protein is translated as an inactive proenzyme that undergoes autoprocessing to become an active enzyme. The

Some amino acids and peptides, which have low solubility in water, become much more soluble following gamma-glutamylation. Compounds become more stable in the blood stream with gamma-glutamylation. Several gamma-glutamyl compounds are known to have favorable physiological effects on mammals. Gamma-glutamylation
