Abstract excerpt
The expression of GGCT (γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase) is upregulated in various human cancers. γ-glutamyl cyclotransferase enzyme activity was originally purified from human red blood cells (RBCs), but the physiological function of GGCT in RBCs is still not clear. Here we reported that Ggct deletion in mice leads to splenomegaly and progressive anaemia phenotypes, due to elevated oxidative damage and the shortened...
