    Abstract

    Introduction: Gamma glutamyl transferase is an important enzyme present on cellular membrane in considerable amounts and plays a role in intracellular ingress of amino acids and peptides in the form of gamma glutamyl peptides. Glutathione is its most important substrate. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) plays key roles in glutathione homeostasis by breaking down extracellular glutathione and providing cysteine, the rate-limiting substrate, for intracellular de novo synthesis of glutathione.
