About GCLM

Cytogenetic location: 1p22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:93,885,199-93,909,430 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 204 orthologues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 13.0), thyroid (RPKM 9.9) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

Glutamate-cysteine Ligase, also known as gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, is the first rate limiting enzyme of glutathione synthesis. The enzyme consists of two subunits, a heavy catalytic subunit and a light regulatory subunit. Gamma glutamylcysteine synthetase deficiency has been implicated in some forms of hemolytic anemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]
