Summary
Enables 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. Located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; glutathione synthetase deficiency; and hemolytic anemia due to glutathione synthetase deficiency. Orthologous to human GSS (glutathione synthetase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
