GSH2 also known as glutathione synthetase 2 adds up to gamma-glutamylcysteine to create glutathione a tripeptide important in cellular defense against oxidative stress. It has a molecular mass of approximately 52 kDa. GSH2 shows expression in various tissues with higher levels in the liver and kidneys due to their roles in detoxification processes.
Biological function summary
The role of GSH2 involves maintaining intracellular redox balance and detoxifying harmful substances. GSH2 works closely with glutamate-cysteine ligase in the synthesis of glutathione. As part of the larger antioxidant system GSH2 ensures cells are protected from damage caused by reactive oxygen species.
Pathways
The glutathione synthesis pathway relies heavily on GSH2's activity influencing the glutathione metabolism pathway. This pathway is critical for antioxidant defense and various metabolic processes. GSH2 closely interacts with enzymes like glutathione reductase and glutathione peroxidase emphasizing its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis.
GSH2 mutations or dysregulation can lead to conditions such as glutathione synthetase deficiency and oxidative stress-related disorders. These conditions often involve impaired glutathione metabolism linking GSH2 to neurological and metabolic dysfunctions. GSH2 mutations affect proteins like catalase and superoxide dismutase resulting in reduced efficiency in combating oxidative stress.
