Abcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.
It is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.

Lysate preparation: Our lysates are made using RIPA buffer to which we add a protease inhibitor cocktail and phosphatase inhibitor cocktail (ratio: 300:100:10). This means that the protein of interest is denatured. If you require a native form of the protein please use the live cell version. Please refer to our lysis protocol for further details on how our lysates are prepared.

User storage instructions: Lyophilizate may be stored at 4°C. After reconstitution, store at -20°C for short-term storage or -80°C for long-term storage.

Activity summary

Glutathione Synthetase (GSS) sometimes called GSS line is an enzyme that plays a central role in cellular function by catalyzing the ATP-dependent conversion of gamma-glutamylcysteine and glycine into glutathione. This enzyme has a molecular mass of about 70 kDa and exhibits high expression in the liver and red blood cells. It maintains the necessary cellular levels of glutathione a major antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress.

Biological function summary

GSS is responsible for the final step in glutathione biosynthesis. Acting independently GSS operates without forming a larger enzyme complex. Its enzymatic activity ensures adequate production of glutathione which regulates cellular redox homeostasis and detoxification processes. The availability of glutathione is critical for cellular respiration and immunity molecules essential for a well-functioning organism.

Pathways

The activity of GSS integrates into the gamma-glutamyl cycle and the detoxification pathway. It partners indirectly with enzymes like gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase which precedes GSS in the glutathione biosynthesis pathway. This relationship positions GSS as an important element in sustaining normal cellular detoxification processes ensuring the neutralization of reactive oxygen species and maintaining the balance of free radicals.

Associated diseases and disorders

Defects in GSS activity correlate with glutathione synthetase deficiency an autosomal recessive disorder that results in increased oxidative damage and metabolic acidosis. Symptoms range from hemolytic anemia to neurological complications due to impairments in oxidative stress management. The disorder links to proteins involved in antioxidant processes highlighting the importance of GSS in maintaining proper cellular function and disease prevention.
