The dark side of gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT): Pathogenic effects of an ‘antioxidant’ enzyme
Having long been regarded as just a member in the cellular antioxidant systems, as well as a clinical biomarker of hepatobiliary diseases and alcohol abuse, gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) enzyme activity has been highlighted by more recent research as a critical factor in modulation of redox equilibria within the cell and in its surroundings. Moreover, due to the prooxidant reactions which can originate during its metabolic function in selected conditions, experimental and clinical studies are increasingly involving GGT in the pathogenesis of several important disease conditions, such as atherosclerosis, cardiovascular diseases, cancer, lung inflammation, neuroinflammation and bone disorders. The present article is an overview of the laboratory findings that have prompted an evolution in interpretation of the significance of GGT in human pathophysiology.
期刊介绍：
Free Radical Biology and Medicine is a leading journal in the field of redox biology, which is the study of the role of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other oxidizing agents in biological systems. The journal serves as a premier forum for publishing innovative and groundbreaking research that explores the redox biology of health and disease, covering a wide range of topics and disciplines. Free Radical Biology and Medicine also commissions Special Issues that highlight recent advances in both basic and clinical research, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms underlying altered metabolism and redox signaling. These Special Issues aim to provide a focused platform for the latest research in the field, fostering collaboration and knowledge exchange among researchers and clinicians.
