Gamma-GCS Protein, E.coli (His-SUMO)
Gamma-GCS protein is a key enzyme in sulfur metabolism and initiates glutathione synthesis by catalyzing the incorporation of L-cysteine and L-glutamic acid. This important molecule critical for cellular antioxidant defense is synthesized through a critical 1/2 step facilitated by γ-GCS. Gamma-GCS Protein, E.coli (His-SUMO) is the recombinant E. coli-derived Gamma-GCS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His, N-SUMO labeled tag.

Storage:Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
Biological Activity
Gamma-GCS protein is a key enzyme in sulfur metabolism and initiates glutathione synthesis by catalyzing the incorporation of L-cysteine and L-glutamic acid. This important molecule critical for cellular antioxidant defense is synthesized through a critical 1/2 step facilitated by γ-GCS. Gamma-GCS Protein, E.coli (His-SUMO) is the recombinant E. coli-derived Gamma-GCS protein, expressed by E. coli , with N-His, N-SUMO labeled tag.
Gamma-GCS protein, a key enzyme in sulfur metabolism and glutathione biosynthesis, facilitates the critical step 1/2 of glutathione formation from L-cysteine and L-glutamate. As part of this enzymatic process, gamma-GCS catalyzes the incorporation of L-cysteine and L-glutamate, initiating the synthesis of glutathione. This molecule, essential for cellular antioxidant defense and detoxification, plays a crucial role in maintaining redox homeostasis within the cell. By orchestrating the initial steps of glutathione biosynthesis, gamma-GCS contributes to the cellular mechanisms that protect against oxidative stress and support overall cellular health.
