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; genitourinary system; liver; nervous 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).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
