Gene information for GSR (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2936
Official gene symbolGSR
Full nameglutathione reductase
Aliases,MGC78522,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the class-I pyridine nucleotide-disulfide oxidoreductase family. This enzyme is a homodimeric flavoprotein. It is a central enzyme of cellular antioxidant defense, and reduces oxidized glutathione disulfide (GSSG) to the sulfhydryl form GSH, which is an important cellular antioxidant. Rare mutations in this gene result in hereditary glutathione reductase deficiency. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found. [provided by RefSeq]
