High impact information on GSH2

  • During the embryonic period, many olfactory bulb (OB) interneurons arise in the lateral ganglionic eminence (LGE) from precursor cells expressing Dlx2, Gsh2 and Er81 transcription factors [1].
  • The 56-Da protein corresponds to the complete GSH2 open reading frame, while the subfragments are produced following the cleavage of this larger protein by a metalloprotease [2].
  • Mitochondrial DNA depletion significantly lowered glutathione reductase activity, glutathione (GSH) content, and consistently altered the GSH2 : oxidized glutathione ratio in all of the rho0 cell lines, albeit to differing extents, indicating the most oxidized redox state in bone rho0 cells [3].
  • Gsh2 homeobox transcription factors play a crucial role in the development of GABAergic neurons [4].
  • Heterozygous truncating mutation in the human homeobox gene GSH2 has no discernable phenotypic effect [5].
