GSS - glutathione synthetase Gene
Also Known as GSHS; HEL-S-64p; HEL-S-88n
Species: Homo sapiens
About GSS
This gene has 28 transcripts (splice variants), 245 orthologues and is associated with 4 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in kidney (RPKM 14.9), colon (RPKM 13.6) and 25 other tissues.
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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
