Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 1491
Gene name Cystathionine gamma-lyase
Gene symbol CTH
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CGLCSE
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p31.1
Summary This gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathione derived from methionine into cysteine. Glutathione synthesis in the liver is dependent upon the availability of cysteine. Mutations in this gene cause cystat

Protein function Catalyzes the last step in the trans-sulfuration pathway from L-methionine to L-cysteine in a pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent manner, which consists on cleaving the L,L-cystathionine molecule into L-cysteine, ammonia and 2-oxobutanoate (P
