CHAC2 - ChaC glutathione specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 2 Gene
Also Known as GCG1
Species: Homo sapiens
About CHAC2
This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 213 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 3.6), testis (RPKM 3.6) and 25 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase that catalyzes the conversion of glutathione to 5-oxoproline and cysteinylglycine. It is thought that this gene is upregulated in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress and that the glutathione depletion enhances Apoptosis. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
