Entrez ID 79017
Gene name Gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase
Gene symbol GGCT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
C7orf24CRF21GCTGGGC
Chromosome 7
Chromosome location 7p14.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the formation of 5-oxoproline from gamma-glutamyl dipeptides, the penultimate step in glutathione catabolism, and may play a critical role in glutathione homeostasis. The encoded protein may also play a role in c
