{"symbol":"GGT6","synonyms":[],"name":"gamma-glutamyltransferase 6","description":"GGT6 belongs to the gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT; EC 2.3.2.2) gene family. GGT is a membrane-bound extracellular enzyme that cleaves gamma-glutamyl peptide bonds in glutathione and other peptides and transfers the gamma-glutamyl moiety to acceptors. GGT is also key to glutathione homeostasis because it provides substrates for glutathione synthesis (Heisterkamp et al., 2008 [PubMed 18357469]).[supplied by OMIM, Oct 2008]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":124975,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/124975","proteins":[{"symbol":"GGT6_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/GGT6_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"Gamma-glutamyltransferases (GGT)","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/Gamma-glutamyltransferases+%28GGT%29"}]}
