Gastric cancer (GC) is a gastric malignant tumor with over 1 million new cases globally each year. There are many diagnostic methods for GC, but due to the hidden early symptoms of GC, early GC is easy to be missed and misdiagnosed, which affects the follow-up treatment of patients. The early and accurate diagnosis of GC is of great significance for the treatment and survival of GC patients. Our laboratory study found that gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) was highly expressed in GC patients, but the mechanism of GGT family genes in the occurrence and development of GC remained to be further studied. Therefore, this study aimed to explore the mechanism of GGT family functional gene GGT5 regulating the proliferation and migration of GC cells, and provide a possible new biomarker for the early diagnosis of GC.
