Summary: Predicted to enable glutathione binding activity and glutathione synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in head; intestine; nervous system; pharynx; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; glutathione synthetase deficiency; glutathione synthetase deficiency of erythrocytes; and glutatione synthetase deficiency with 5-oxoprolinuria. Orthologous to human GSS (glutathione synthetase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
