products description :
MyBioSource produces human Gamma Glutamyltransferase/gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase (gGT/GGTP) for research, life science and diagnostic manufacturing uses. Custom preparations, technical support, bulk quantities and aliquoting available. Detection of liver disease, obstructive jaundice, cholangitis, infectious hepititus, and cholecystitis. gamma-Glutamyltransferase (gGT/GGTP) test is used to detect diseases of the liver, bile ducts, and kidney; and to differentiate liver or bile duct (hepatobiliary) disorders from bone disease. A gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase test measures the levels of this enzyme in the blood, which is produced in many body tissues, with particularly high concentrations in the liver and gallbladder. The liver stores fuel from food, makes proteins, helps remove poisons and toxins, and produces bile, a digestive fluid that helps the body absorb fat. The gallbladder stores bile until it's needed. Testing for GGT evaluates diseases of the liver, gallbladder, and bile ducts (tubes that carry bile from the liver to the gallbladder and intestine). It also can be used to check for liver damage related to ingestion of toxic substances or alcohol abuse.

ncbi summary :
The enzyme encoded by this gene is a type I gamma-glutamyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the glutamyl moiety of glutathione to a variety of amino acids and dipeptide acceptors. The enzyme is composed of a heavy chain and a light chain, which are derived from a single precursor protein. It is expressed in tissues involved in absorption and secretion and may contribute to the etiology of diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. There are a number of related genes present on chromosomes 20 and 22, and putative pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 2, 13, and 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]
