Description: Homo sapiens gamma-glutamyltransferase 6 (GGT6), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001122890): 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]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr17:4,460,222-4,463,876 Size: 3,655 Total Exon Count: 4 Strand: - Coding Region Position: hg19 chr17:4,461,310-4,463,816 Size: 2,507 Coding Exon Count: 4
ID:GGT6_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Gamma-glutamyltransferase 6; Short=GGT 6; EC=2.3.2.2; AltName: Full=Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase 6; AltName: Full=Glutathione hydrolase 6; EC=3.4.19.13; Contains: RecName: Full=Gamma-glutamyltransferase 6 heavy chain; Contains: RecName: Full=Gamma-glutamyltransferase 6 light chain; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Cleaves glutathione conjugates (By similarity). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: A (5-L-glutamyl)-peptide + an amino acid = a peptide + a 5-L-glutamyl amino acid. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Glutathione + H(2)O = L-cysteinylglycine + L- glutamate. PATHWAY: Sulfur metabolism; glutathione metabolism. SUBUNIT: Heterodimer composed of the light and heavy chains. The active site is located in the light chain (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the gamma-glutamyltransferase family.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
