Gene: CTH
Alternate names for this Gene: -
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathione derived from methionine into cysteine. Glutathione synthesis in the liver is dependent upon the availability of cysteine. Mutations in this gene cause cystathioninuria. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p31.1
Description of this Gene: cystathionine gamma-lyase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
