Studies on γ-Glutamyl Transpeptidase in Green Asparagus

Agricultural and Biological Chemistry, 1967
Presence of γ-glutamyl transpeptidase in soluble cell fraction of green asparagus has been confirmed for the first time. The partially purified enzyme, having an optimal pH ca. 8.0 for the enzymatic reaction, was labile for storage at alkaline pH. Km for the substrate γ-glutamyl aniline was 1.1×10-3 M.
