Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 14854 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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; and glutatione synthetase deficiency with 5-oxoprolinuria. Orthologous to human GSS (glutathione synthetase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation all die before E7.5. [provided by MGI curators] |
