Principle of the Assay: gGT1 ELISA kit applies the competitive enzyme immunoassay technique utilizing a monoclonal anti-gGT1 antibody and an gGT1-HRP conjugate. The assay sample and buffer are incubated together with gGT1-HRP conjugate in pre-coated plate for one hour. After the incubation period, the wells are decanted and washed five times. The wells are then incubated with a substrate for HRP enzyme. The product of the enzyme-substrate reaction forms a blue colored complex. Finally, a stop solution is added to stop the reaction, which will then turn the solution yellow. The intensity of color is measured spectrophotometrically at 450nm in a microplate reader. The intensity of the color is inversely proportional to the gGT1 concentration since gGT1 from samples and gGT1-HRP conjugate compete for the anti-gGT1 antibody binding site. Since the number of sites is limited, as more sites are occupied by gGT1 from the sample, fewer sites are left to bind gGT1-HRP conjugate. A standard curve is plotted relating the intensity of the color (O.D.) to the concentration of standards. The gGT1 concentration in each sample is interpolated from this standard curve.

NCBI Description

The enzyme encoded by this gene is a type I gamma-glutamyltransferase that catalyzes the transfer of the glutamyl moiety of glutathione to a variety of amino acids and dipeptide acceptors. The enzyme is composed of a heavy chain and a light chain, which are derived from a single precursor protein. It is expressed in tissues involved in absorption and secretion and may contribute to the etiology of diabetes and other metabolic disorders. Multiple alternatively spliced variants have been identified. There are a number of related genes present on chromosomes 20 and 22, and putative pseudogenes for this gene on chromosomes 2, 13, and 22. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2014]

Uniprot Description

GGT1: Initiates extracellular glutathione (GSH) breakdown, provides cells with a local cysteine supply and contributes to maintain intracellular GSH level. It is part of the cell antioxidant defense mechanism. Catalyzes the transfer of the glutamyl moiety of glutathione to amino acids and dipeptide acceptors. Alternatively, glutathione can be hydrolyzed to give Cys-Gly and gamma glutamate. Isoform 3 seems to be inactive. Defects in GGT1 are a cause of glutathionuria (GLUTH); also known as gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase deficiency. It is an autosomal recessive disease. Belongs to the gamma-glutamyltransferase family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative promoter.
