|
| Function |
Cleaves the gamma-glutamyl peptide bond of glutathione conjugates, but maybe not glutathione itself. Converts leukotriene C4 (LTC4) to leukotriene D4 (LTD4).
|
| Subcellular Location |
Membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type II membrane protein {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Very low level of expression. Detected in spleen lymphocytes, medullary and paracortical thymic lymphocytes, lung interstitial cells, bronchial epithelium, proximal tubules in kidney, crypt cells in small intestine, neurons in brain stem and cerebral cortex and in Purkinje cells.
