γ-glutamyltransferase, Porcine kidney

γ-glutamyltransferase, Porcine kidney (GGT, Porcine kidney) is an enzyme located on the outer surface of the cell membrane. γ-glutamyltransferase, Porcine kidney maintains the physiological concentration of cytoplasmic glutathione and the cell's defense against oxidative stress by cleaving extracellular glutathione and increasing the availability of amino acids. γ-glutamyltransferase, Porcine kidney is used for pancreatic cancer research[1][2][3][4].
