Recombinant human Glutathione synthetase/GSS protein
Glutathione synthetase, also known GSS, is the second enzyme in the glutathione biosynthesis pathway. It catalyses the condensation of gamma-glutamylcysteine and glycine, to form glutathione. Defects in GSS are the cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency (GSS deficiency) ; also known as 5-oxoprolinuria or pyroglutamic aciduria. It is a severe form characterized by an increased rate of hemolysis and defective function of the central nervous system. Recombinant human GSS protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.
