Summary: Enables glutathione synthase activity. Involved in glutathione biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Used to study Huntington's disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; glutathione synthetase deficiency; and glutatione synthetase deficiency with 5-oxoprolinuria. Orthologous to human GSS (glutathione synthetase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
