Did you mean Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase?

Glossary Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase

enzyme involved in amino acid transfer and liver function

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found in various tissues throughout the body, with particularly high concentrations in the liver. It plays a crucial role in the metabolism of glutathione and the transfer of amino acids across cellular membranes. Elevated levels of GGT in the blood can indicate liver disease, bile duct problems, or excessive alcohol consumption.
