Gene: GSS

Alternate names for this Gene: GSHS|HEL-S-64p|HEL-S-88n

Gene Summary: Glutathione is important for a variety of biological functions, including protection of cells from oxidative damage by free radicals, detoxification of xenobiotics, and membrane transport. The protein encoded by this gene functions as a homodimer to catalyze the second step of glutathione biosynthesis, which is the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine to glutathione. Defects in this gene are a cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 20

Location in Chromosome : 20q11.22
