  • Active site of human gamma glutamy hydrolase
    Patent number: 6699683
    Abstract: Provided is the active site of human gamma glutamyl hydrolase. The active site resides in amino acid residues 110, 171, 220 and 222 of SEQ ID NO:1. Thus provided is an inactive gamma glutamyl hydrolase protein, as well as a fragment thereof. A method of inactivating a gamma glutamyl hydrolase protein is also provided, as is a molecule capable of binding to one or more of amino acid residues 110, 171, 220 or 222 of SEQ ID NO:1 which can be used in such a method. A method for identifying a molecule that inactivates gamma glutamyl hydrolase is provided, as is a nucleic acid molecule encoding the inactive gamma glutamyl hydrolase.
