Chemical compound and disease context of Gss

 

Biological context of Gss

  • This is the first observation indicating that GSS is inducible rather specifically by a metal chelator and that induction of GSS, however, is not sufficient to induce apoptosis [8].
  • No significant induction of DNA fragmentation was detected in two murine tumor lines upon GSS transfection [8].
  • GSS deficiency is inherited autosomal recessively, and patients with this disease can be divided into three groups, according to their clinical phenotype [6].
  • Finally, we showed that estrogen increased GSH content, GS and GR activities, and GCL gene expression in the liver of both male and female mice [9].
  • Young mice can increase the cellular availability of GSH, whereas mature mice can increase GSH synthetase activity during oxidative stress [10].
