GSS
Defects in GSS are the cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency (GSS deficiency); also known as 5- oxoprolinuria or pyroglutamic aciduria. It is a severe form characterized by an increased rate of hemolysis and defective function of the central nervous system. Defects in GSS are the cause of glutathione synthetase deficiency of erythrocytes (GLUSYNDE)[MIM:231900]. Glutathione synthetase deficiency of erythrocytes is a mild form causing hemolytic anemia. Belongs to the eukaryotic GSH synthase family. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
