This protein is involved in step 1 of the subpathway that synthesizes glutathione from L-cysteine and L-glutamate.
Proteins known to be involved in the 2 steps of the subpathway in this organism are:
Gamma-ECS (GCLC), Glutamate--cysteine ligase regulatory subunit (GCLM), Gamma-ECS (GCLC), Gamma-ECS (GCLC), GCS light chain (GCLM), Gamma-ECS (GCLC), Gamma-ECS (GCLC), Gamma-ECS (GCLC), Glutamate--cysteine ligase catalytic subunit (GCLC)
Glutathione synthetase, Glutathione synthetase (GSS), Glutathione synthetase (GSS), Glutathione synthetase, Glutathione synthetase (HEL-S-64p)
This subpathway is part of the pathway glutathione biosynthesis, which is itself part of Sulfur metabolism.
