Gene name Glutamate-cysteine ligase modifier subunit
Gene symbol GCLM
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
GLCLR
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p22.1
Summary Glutamate-cysteine ligase, also known as gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase, is the first rate limiting enzyme of glutathione synthesis. The enzyme consists of two subunits, a heavy catalytic subunit and a light regulatory subunit. Gamma glutamylcysteine s
