GenAge entry for GSS (Homo sapiens)

Gene name (HAGRID: 155)

HGNC symbol
GSS 
Aliases
 
Common name
glutathione synthetase 

Potential relevance to the human ageing process

Main reason for selection
Entry selected based on evidence linking the gene product to a pathway or mechanism linked to ageing
Description

GSS is involved in redox regulation and oxidative defence. Mutations in the human GSS gene cause 5-oxoprolinuria [744]. There is no evidence directly linking GSS to ageing in humans or in model organisms.
