Pathway Description
gamma-Glutamyltranspeptidase Deficiency
Homo sapiens
Disease Pathway
Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase deficiency, characterized by glutathionemia and glutathionuria, is an autosomal recessive disorder of glutathione metabolism caused by a defective gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT). GGT transfers glutamyl moieties to acceptor molecules such as amino acids and peptides. This disorder is characterized by a large accumulation of glutathione in the urine. Symptoms of the disorder include easy bruising, asthma, and mild mental retardation.
