Usage

General Description

Gamma-L-Glutamyl-3-carboxy-4-nitroanilide is a chemical compound often used in biomedical research as a substrate for detecting the activity of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT), an enzyme found in the human body. GGT is important for the metabolism of glutathione, a key antioxidant, and is also used as a marker for liver and biliary disease. The compound is typically used in diagnostic tests to measure GGT activity, especially in the context of liver function and disease. It is a stable and soluble compound that can be easily manipulated for laboratory experiments and has been widely used in the study of GGT and related metabolic processes.
