Official Full Name: glutathione synthetaseprovided by RGD
Primary source: RGD:2752
See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000018964 AllianceGenome:RGD:2752
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: PROVISIONAL
Organism: Rattus norvegicus
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Summary: Enables several functions, including anion binding activity; glutathione synthase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including glutathione biosynthetic process; response to amino acid; and response to tumor necrosis factor. Predicted to be active in cytosol. 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.
