| Description | Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase reagent is used for the quantitative determination of Gamma-GT in human serum. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (Gamma-GT) is one of a large group of enzymes known as peptidases. A peptidase is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolytic cleavage of peptides to form amino acids or smaller peptides. Gamma-GT catalyzes the transfer of Gamma-glutamyl groups from peptides or peptide like compounds to an acceptor peptide molecule. Gamma-GT was originally termed a "transpeptidase" but the nomenclature was later changed to the more appropriate term "transferase". Although renal tissue has the highest level of Gamma-GT, the major source of the enzyme present in serum is of hepatic origin. Elevated levels of Gamma-GT are found in association with hepatobiliary, pancreatic disorders, alcoholics, myocardial disorders, and diabetics. |
