[Induction of gamma-glutamyltransferase in cultured brain cells].

gamma-Glutamyltransferase is a membrane-bound enzyme widely distributed in animal tissues. This enzyme is involved in glutathione metabolism, but its exact biological function is still an open question. In rat brain cells in culture a depletion of L-cystine and L-glutamine or the addition of diethyl maleate to the culture medium leads to a decrease of intracellular glutathione concentration and to an increase of the specific activity of gamma-glutamyltransferase. The induction of the enzyme is inhibited by the addition of cycloheximide or actinomycin D to the culture medium.
