Determination of Significance:
γ-glutamyltranspeptidase (γ-GT) is a key enzyme in γ-glutanyl cycle, which catalyzes the degradation of GSH. γ-GT catalyzes the transfer of γ-glutamyl groups from GSH or other γ-glutamyl compounds to receptors. It can also catalyze the hydrolysis of GSH andother γ-glutamyl compounds to produce glutamate, which plays an important role in the metabolism of extracellular glutathione.
Measurement Principle:
γ-GT catalyzes the transfer of γ-glutamyl in glutamyl p-nitroaniline to N-glycylglycine to form p-nitroaniline with characteristic light absorption at 405 nm.γ-GT enzyme activity is calculated by measuring the increase rate of light absorption at 405nm.
