About GGT5

Cytogenetic location: 22q11.23 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:24,219,654-24,245,142 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 343 orthologues and 6 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in fat (RPKM 18.6), kidney (RPKM 15.2) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase gene family, and some reports indicate that it is capable of cleaving the gamma-glutamyl moiety of glutathione. The protein encoded by this gene is synthesized as a single, catalytically-inactive polypeptide, that is processed post-transcriptionally to form a heavy and light subunit, with the catalytic activity contained within the small subunit. The encoded Enzyme is able to convert leukotriene C4 to leukotriene D4, but appears to have distinct substrate specificity compared to gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]
