Preferred Label : Gamma-Glutamyl Transpeptidase;

NCIt synonyms : Gamma-GT; GGT; Gamma-Glutamyltransferase; EC 2.3.2.2; Gamma Glutamyl Transferase; EC 3.4.19.13;

NCIt definition : GGT participates in the transfer of amino acids across the cellular membrane and in glutathione metabolism. High concentrations are found in the liver, bile ducts, and the kidney. A test that measures the amount of GGT in the blood is used to detect diseases of the liver, bile ducts, and kidney; and to differentiate liver or bile duct (hepatobiliary) disorders from bone disease.;
