Protein: GGT2_SCHPO

Gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase 2

FUNCTION: Catalyzes the transfer of the gamma-glutamyl moiety of glutathione (GSH) and other gamma-glutamyl compounds to amino acids and peptides. Major GSH-degrading enzyme, catalyzing the hydrolytic release of L-glutamate from GSH. Plays a role in the turnover of the vacuolar GSH, serving as an alternative nitrogen source during nitrogen starvation (By similarity). CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: (5-L-glutamyl)-peptide + an amino acid = peptide + 5-L-glutamyl amino acid. CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Glutathione + H(2)O = L-cysteinylglycine + L- glutamate. more...

PATHWAY: Sulfur metabolism; glutathione metabolism.

SUBUNIT: Heterodimer composed of the light and heavy chains. The active site is located in the light chain (By similarity).

SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Vacuole membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein (Potential).

INDUCTION: Induced upon nitrogen starvation and oxidative stress.

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the gamma-glutamyltransferase family.
