Product overview
Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) Assay Kit (Colorimetric) (ab241029) provides a convenient tool for sensitive detection of the GGT in a variety of samples.
The GGT in sample will recognize L γ Glutamyl pNA as a specific substrate leading to proportional color development. The activity of GGT can be easily quantified colorimetrically (λ = 418 nm).
This assay detects GGT activity as low as 0.5 mIU.

Relevance
Glutamyltransferase (gGT) from human kidney is a membrane bound enzyme that transfers the gamma glutamly moiety of gamma glutamyl compounds such as glutathione to an acceptor, which may be an amino acid or a di or tripeptide or water. The principal functions of gGT may be hydrolysis and metabolism of glutathione. Various human gGT isoforms have been found. The molecular mass of gGT for normal kidney is 90kDa and gGT can be used as a renal cell marker. -
