GTS

GTs is an acronym that can denote several distinct concepts depending on context. The most common uses are in biochemistry (glycosyltransferases), video gaming (Gran Turismo), and automotive engineering (grand tourer).

Glycosyltransferases, abbreviated GTs, are enzymes that catalyze the transfer of sugar moieties from activated donor molecules to specific acceptors, forming glycosidic bonds. They are essential in the biosynthesis of glycoconjugates such as glycoproteins, glycolipids, and polysaccharides. GTs are classified into families based on sequence similarity and mechanistic traits, including folds known as GT-A and GT-B. In humans and other organisms, defects in GTs can cause congenital disorders of glycosylation, and GTs are targets in drug development for cancer and infectious diseases.

Gran Turismo, abbreviated GT, is a racing video game franchise developed by Polyphony Digital and published by Sony Interactive Entertainment. Debuting in 1997 on the PlayStation, the series is known for its realistic driving simulation, extensive car catalog, licensed brands, and attention to performance details. It has expanded across multiple generations and platforms, influencing both gaming technology and car culture.

A grand tourer, or GT, is a class of high-performance sports cars designed for long-distance driving with a balance of speed and comfort. GTs typically emphasize refinement alongside performance, featuring powerful engines and comfortable interiors suitable for extended journeys. In motorsport, GT racing categories (such as GT3 and GT4) group production-based cars that resemble road-going GTs.
