Gamma-glutamyl transferase

Known as: Gamma glutamyl transferase, gamma-Glutamyltransferase [Chemical/Ingredient], (5-L-Glutamyl)-peptide:amino-acid 5-glutamyltransferase 
GGT participates in the transfer of amino acids across the cellular membrane and in glutathione metabolism. High concentrations are found in the… (More)
