Product Description

In vitro diagnostic reagent for quantitative examination of gamma-glutamyltransferase (Gamma-GT/GGT) in serum or plasma using the photometric test method.

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) is an enzyme found primarily in the liver, but also in the kidneys, pancreas, and intestines. This enzyme plays a role in glutathione metabolism and amino acid transport across cell membranes. Blood GGT levels are often used as an indicator of liver function, particularly in detecting damage to the bile ducts and liver caused by alcohol consumption or hepatotoxic drugs.

The Role of Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase in the Human Body

The primary function of GGT is the transfer of gamma-glutamyl groups from glutathione to recipient molecules, which is essential for detoxification and cellular metabolism. GGT activity allows cells to uptake essential amino acids, aids in the regeneration of intracellular glutathione, and maintains redox balance in the body. Therefore, GGT is also thought to play a role in protecting cells against oxidative stress.

Gamma-Glutamyl Transferase and Liver Function

High GGT levels in the blood are generally associated with various liver conditions, such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, and alcoholic liver disease. Furthermore, elevated GGT can also be an indicator of cholestasis (impaired bile flow), liver cancer, and even heart disease and diabetes mellitus. GGT testing is often used in conjunction with other liver function tests to confirm the diagnosis and determine the specific cause of liver disorders.

Measurement Method

Kinetic photometric test according to Szasz/Persijn. This test has also been standardized according to the IFCC (International Federation of Clinical Chemistry).
