Abstract excerpt
The rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of the cellular protectant glutathione is catalyzed by gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase (GCS; also known as glutamine-L-cysteine ligase, GLCL), a heterodimer consisting of catalytic (GCS(h)) and regulatory (GCS(l)) subunits. Regulation of expression of the human gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase regulatory subunit gene in response to beta-NF is mediated by an...
