- Gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase
In
enzymology , a gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase (EC number|2.3.2.4) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :(5-L-glutamyl)-L-amino acid 5-oxoproline + L-amino acid
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
(5-L-glutamyl)-L-amino acid , and two products,5-oxoproline andL-amino acid .This enzyme belongs to the family of
transferase s, specifically theaminoacyltransferase s. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (5-L-glutamyl)-L-amino-acid 5-glutamyltransferase (cyclizing). Other names in common use include gamma-glutamyl-amino acid cyclotransferase, gamma-L-glutamylcyclotransferase, and L-glutamic cyclase. This enzyme participates inglutathione metabolism .tructural studies
As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|2PN7 and PDB link|2RBH.
