Bacterial γ-glutamyltranspeptidase: Food and
medicinal applications
Hideyuki Suzuki
ABSTRACT: γ-Glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT) catalyzes the hydrolysis of γ-glutamyl compounds and the transfer of
their γ-glutamyl moiety to another amino acids or peptides. We have proposed several applications of this enzyme,
especially in food and medicine, for the wellness of humans. These applications depend on the fact that the pH optima
of the hydrolysis and transpeptidase reactions are distinctly different in E. coli GGT. The applications of bacterial GGTs
are introduced in this review.
