Summary: Enables glutathione-disulfide reductase (NADPH) activity. Involved in several processes, including cell redox homeostasis; ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle; and response to superoxide. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including Ea; Ep; Epr; excretory canal; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cataract and macular degeneration. Orthologous to human GSR (glutathione-disulfide reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

Blocking autophagy in gsr-1 worms expressing aggregation-prone proteins results in strong synthetic developmental phenotypes and lethality, supporting the physiological importance of glutathione reductase in the regulation of misfolded protein clearance.
Title: Loss of glutathione redox homeostasis impairs proteostasis by inhibiting autophagy-dependent protein degradation.
the embryonic lethality of gsr-1 worms is prevented by restoring GSR-1 activity in the cytoplasm but not in mitochondria. Given the fact that the thioredoxin redox systems are dispensable in C. elegans, our data support a prominent role of the glutathione reductase/glutathione pathway in maintaining redox homeostasis in the nematode
