产品描述:
γ-Glutamyl transferase (GGT) is involved in the transfer of amino acids across the plasma membrane as well as in glutathione metabolism.{18312} Serum GGT activity is commonly used as a marker of liver dysfunction and alcohol abuse. It is also useful as a biomarker of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.{18312} OU749 is a non-competitive inhibitor of GGT, exhibiting a Ki value of 17.6 μM.{18311} It is 150-fold less toxic than the GGT inhibitor acivicin toward dividing cells. OU749 inhibits human GGT 7- to 10-fold more potently than rat or murine GGT and does not inhibit porcine GGT.{18311}
