This document provides information and instructions for quantitatively determining gamma-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) levels in serum samples using a kinetic liquid substrate method. γ-GT catalyzes the transfer of γ-glutamyl groups from γ-glutamyl-p-nitroanilide to the acceptor glycylglycine. The rate of product formation is measured photometrically and is proportional to the γ-GT concentration in the sample. Elevated γ-GT levels are useful for diagnosing and treating hepatobiliary diseases. The kit contains reagents, buffers, substrates and instructions for performing the assay using a spectrophotometer.

Store at 2-8C
PRINCIPLE OF THE METHOD Gamma-glutamyl transferase (-GT) catalyses the transfer of -glutamyl group from -glutamyl-p-nitroanilide to acceptor glycylglycine, according to the following reaction: --L-Glutamyl-3-carboxy-4-nitroanilide + Glycylglycine GT
The rate of 2-nitro-5-aminobenzoic acid formation, measured photometrically, is proportional to the catalytic concentration of -GT present in the sample 1,2 .
CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE Gamma-glutamyl transferase (-GT) is a cellular enzyme with wide tissue distribution in the body, primarily in the kidney, pancreas, liver and prostate. Measurements of gamma-glutamyl transferase (-GT) activity are used in the diagnosis and treatment of hepatobiliary diseases such biliary obstruction, cirrhosis or liver tumours 1,2,5,6 . Clinical diagnosis should not be made on a single test result; it should integrate clinical and other laboratory data.
REAGENTS R 1 Buffer TRIS pH 8.6 Glycylglycine 100 mmol/L 100 mmol/L R 2 Substrate L--glutamyl-3-carboxy-4-nitroanilide 3 mmol/L

4. Mix, wait for 1 minute. 5. Read initial absorbance (A) of the sample, start the stopwatch and read absorbances at 1 minute intervals thereafter for 3 minutes. 6. Calculate the difference between absorbances and the average absorbance differences per minute (AA/min).
CALCULATIONS AA/min x 1190 = U/L of -GT
Units: One international unit (IU) is the amount of enzyme that transforms 1 mol of substrate per minute, in standard conditions. The concentration is expressed in units per litre of sample (U/L).
Temperature conversion factors To correct results to other temperatures multiply by:

QUALITY CONTROL Control sera are recommended to monitor the performance of assay procedures: SPINTROL H Normal and Pathologic (Ref. 1002120 and 1002210). If control values are found outside the defined range, check the instrument, reagents and technique for problems. Each laboratory should establish its own Quality Control scheme and corrective actions if controls do not meet the acceptable tolerances.

PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS Measuring range: From detection limit of 2 U/L to linearity limit of 300 U/L. If the results obtained were greater than linearity limit, dilute the sample 1/2 with NaCl 9 g/L and multiply the result by 2.

Sensitivity: 1 U/L = 0,0008 AA/min. Accuracy: Results obtained using SPINREACT reagents (y) did not show systematic differences when compared with other commercial reagents (x). The results obtained using 100 samples were the following: Correlation coefficient (r): 0,99990. Regression equation: y= 1,334x - 1,493. The results of the performance characteristics depend on the analyzer used.
INTERFERENCES Plasma should not be used, anticoagulants inhibit the enzyme. Gross haemolysis interferes in the assay 1 . A list of drugs and other interfering substances with -GT determination has been reported by Young et. al 3,4 .
NOTES SPINREACT has instruction sheets for several automatic analyzers. Instructions for many of them are available on request.
