gamma-Glutamyltransferase (D-glutamyl transpeptidase, EC 2.3.2.2) activity has been shown to be located predominantly on the extracellular surface of the plasma membrane of lactating bovine mammary cells. Radioactive label from both oxidized ([14C]-gamma-glutamyl) and reduced ([35S]cysteinyl) glutathione was taken up and incorporated into acid-precipitable proteins of mammary tissue. Uptake was shown to involve the transport of free amino acids, and incorporation was shown to involve the action of gamma-=glutamyltransferase. These results indicate that lactating mammary tissue utilizes the constituent amino acids of glutathione for milk-protein synthesis.
γ-谷氨酰转移酶(D-谷氨酰转肽酶,EC 2.3.2.2)活性已被证明主要位于泌乳期牛乳腺细胞质膜的细胞外表面。来自氧化型([14C]-γ-谷氨酰)和还原型([35S]半胱氨酰)谷胱甘肽的放射性标记物被摄取并掺入乳腺组织的酸沉淀蛋白中。摄取过程涉及游离氨基酸的转运,而掺入过程涉及γ-谷氨酰转移酶的作用。这些结果表明,泌乳期乳腺组织利用谷胱甘肽的组成氨基酸进行乳蛋白合成。
