Description

Gamma-glutamylphenylalanine (GGPA) is a dipeptide formed from the amino acids glutamate and phenylalanine. It is a naturally occurring compound found in various biological sources, including plants and animal tissues. GGPA is synthesized through the enzymatic action of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT), a key enzyme involved in glutathione metabolism. GGPA has been the subject of research due to its potential roles in various biological processes, including detoxification, antioxidant defense, and cell signaling. Studies have shown that GGPA exhibits antioxidant activity, protecting cells from oxidative damage. It is also involved in the transport of amino acids across cell membranes and may have implications for neurotransmission. However, further research is needed to fully understand the physiological significance of GGPA and its potential therapeutic applications.'
