Leukotriene-C4 hydrolase ( EC 3.4.19.14, gamma-glutamyl leukotrienase) is an enzyme. [1] [2] [3] [4] Gamma-glutamyltransferase 5 (GGT5) is a human gene which encodes an enzyme protein that belongs to this class of enzymes. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

leukotriene C4 + H2O leukotriene D4 + L- glutamate

The mouse enzyme is specific for leukotriene C4.
