Gene information for CTH (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1491
Official gene symbolCTH
Full namecystathionase (cystathionine gamma-lyase)
Aliases,MGC9471,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathione derived from methionine into cysteine. Glutathione synthesis in the liver is dependent upon the availability of cysteine. Mutations in this gene cause cystathioninuria. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq]
