Abstract excerpt
In the gamma-glutamyl cycle, hereditary defects have been described in four of the six enzymes namely: gamma-GC synthetase; GSH synthetase; gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase and 5-oxoprolinase. Mutants are still to be found in gamma-glutamyl cyclotransferase and in the dipeptidase. Deficiency of GSH synthatase or gamma-GC synthetases results in low levels of GSH. In gamma-GC synthetase deficiency hemolytic anemia is...
