Gclm - glutamate-cysteine ligase, modifier subunit Gene

Also Known as Gcmc; Glclr

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 14630

Summary

Enables glutamate-cysteine Ligase catalytic subunit binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; glutathione biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of glutamate-cysteine Ligase activity. Part of glutamate-cysteine Ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; liver; nervous system; urinary system; and vibrissa. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction and vascular dementia. Orthologous to human GCLM (glutamate-cysteine Ligase modifier subunit).
