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.
General description
Gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase is a heterodimeric enzyme and belongs to the superfamily of N-terminal nucleophile hydrolases.
Other Notes
One unit will liberate 1.0 μmole of p-nitroaniline from L-γ-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide per min at pH 8.5 at 25°C.

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

Exposure to organophosphorus toxicants (OP) can have chronic adverse effects that are not explained by inhibition of acetylcholinesterase, the cause of acute OP toxicity. We therefore hypothesized that OP-induced chronic illness is initiated by the formation of organophosphorus adducts on

The metabolic pathway of tetrodotoxin (TTX), a powerful and specific voltage-gated sodium channel blocker, has not been well-clarified either in TTX-poisoned patients or in puffer fish. 4-S-CysteinylTTX (4-CysTTX) was isolated from the liver of the puffer fish, Fugu pardalis, as

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
