About Gclm

Summary

Enables glutamate-cysteine Ligase activity and glutamate-cysteine Ligase catalytic subunit binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to growth factor stimulus; cellular response to thyroxine stimulus; and response to gonadotropin. Part of glutamate-cysteine Ligase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in myocardial infarction and vascular dementia. Orthologous to human GCLM (glutamate-cysteine Ligase modifier subunit).
