Summary: Enables glutathione synthase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to cadmium ion. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; metanephros; nervous system; and sensory organ. 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]

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.

mRNA and Protein(s)

NM_001291111.1 → NP_001278040.1 glutathione synthetase isoform b

See identical proteins and their annotated locations for NP_001278040.1

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks an alternate exon in the 5' region, and it thus differs in its 5' UTR and initiates translation at a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (b) is shorter at the N-terminus, compared to isoform a.
