Also found in: Acronyms, Wikipedia.

γ-glu·tam·yl·trans·fer·ase

(glū-tam'il-trans'fĕr-ās),
An enzyme that catalyzes the transfer of a γ-glutamyl group from a γ-glutamyl peptide (usually glutathione) to another peptide, certain amino acids, or water; a deficiency of this enzyme will result in glutathionuria.
