| Comment(s) |
|---|
- This is a bifunctional protein that also has the activity of
EC 2.3.2.2.
- The enzyme binds its substrate by forming an initial gamma-glutamyl-
enzyme intermediate, releasing the L-cysteinylglycine part of the
molecule.
- The enzyme then reacts with either a water molecule or a different
acceptor substrate (usually an L-amino acid or a dipeptide) to form
L-glutamate or a product containing a new gamma-glutamyl isopeptide
bond, respectively.
- The enzyme acts on glutathione, glutathione-S-conjugates, and, at a
lower level, on other substrates with an N-terminal L-gamma-glutamyl
residue.
- It plays a crucial part in the glutathione-mediated xenobiotic
detoxification pathway.
- The enzyme consists of two chains that are created by the proteolytic
cleavage of a single precursor polypeptide.
