== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the hydrolysis of the amide bond in N-(4- oxoglutarate)-L-cysteinylglycine (deaminated glutathione), a metabolite repair reaction to dispose of the harmful deaminated glutathione. Plays a role in cell growth and apoptosis: loss of expression promotes cell growth, resistance to DNA damage stress and increased incidence to NMBA-induced tumors. Has tumor suppressor properties that enhances the apoptotic responsiveness in cancer cells; this effect is additive to the tumor suppressor activity of FHIT. It is also a negative regulator of primary T- cells. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VDK1}.
