Name | gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase 1 | Brief Description | gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase 1 |
TAIR Computational Description | gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase 1;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | The gene encodes a gamma-glutamyltransferase (AKA gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, EC 2.3.2.2) that is located in vascular tissues (predominantly phloem) of leaves and is involved in the degradation of glutathione. The encoded enzyme also mitigates oxidative stress by metabolizing GSSG (oxidized form of GSH - glutathione) in the apoplast. |
