MeSH Heading: gamma-Glutamyltransferase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.913.050.200.500
Unique ID: D005723
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D005723
Annotation: do not confuse with PROTEIN-GLUTAMINE GAMMA-GLUTAMYLTRANSFERASES or GLUTAMINYL-PEPTIDE GAMMA-GLUTAMYLTRANSFERASES see TRANSGLUTAMINASES which crosslinks proteins nor with GAMMA-GLUTAMYLCYCLOTRANSFERASE
Scope Note: An enzyme, sometimes called GGT, with a key role in the synthesis and degradation of GLUTATHIONE; (GSH, a tripeptide that protects cells from many toxins). It catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl moiety to an acceptor amino acid.
Entry Term(s): GGTP; Glutamyl Transpeptidase; gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase; gammaglutamyltransferase
