1 Modulation of cell growth and cisplatin sensitivity by membrane gamma-glutamyltransferase in melanoma cells. Cisplatin gamma-glutamyltransferase light chain family member 3 Homo sapiens
2 In addition, GGT-transfected cells exhibited reduced sensitivity to cisplatin associated with lower DNA platination. Cisplatin gamma-glutamyltransferase light chain family member 3 Homo sapiens
3 In conclusion, these results indicate that GGT activity confers a growth advantage unrelated with intracellular glutathione supply, and are consistent with the interpretation that cisplatin resistance is the consequence of modifications of cellular pharmacokinetics as a result of extracellular drug inactivation by thiol metabolites originated by GGT-mediated GSH cleavage. Cisplatin gamma-glutamyltransferase light chain family member 3 Homo sapiens
