Gamma-glutamyl hydrolase, also known as GGH, is a homodimeric protein that catalyzes the cleavage of the gamma-glutamyl chain of folylpoly-gamma-glutamyl substrates and is a central enzyme in folyl and antifolyl poly-gamma-glutamate metabolism. GGH may play an important role in the bioavailability of dietary pteroylpolyglutamates and in the metabolism of pteroylpolyglutamates and antifolates. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa25-318 of human GGH, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
