(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID728441
Official gene symbolGGT2
Full namegamma-glutamyltransferase 2
Aliases,GGT,GGT 2,
Gene summaryGGT2 belongs to the gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT; EC 2.3.2.2) gene family. GGT is a membrane-bound extracellular enzyme that cleaves gamma-glutamyl peptide bonds in glutathione and other peptides and transfers the gamma-glutamyl moiety to acceptors. GGT is also key to glutathione homeostasis because it provides substrates for glutathione synthesis (Heisterkamp et al., 2008 [PubMed 18357469]).[supplied by OMIM]
