Endothelial γ-glutamyltransferase contributes to the vasorelaxant effect of S-nitrosoglutathione in rat aorta.

Endothelial γ-glutamyltransferase contributes to the vasorelaxant effect of S-nitrosoglutathione in rat aorta.

S-nitrosoglutathione (GSNO) involved in storage and transport of nitric oxide ((•)NO) plays an important role in vascular homeostasis. Breakdown of GSNO can be catalyzed by γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT). We investigated whether vascular GGT influences the vasorelaxant effect of GSNO in isolated rat ao...
