Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human GCLC
Application
Anti-GCLC antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1μg/mL.
Biochem/physiol Actions
GCLC gene encodes the heavy catalytic subunit of the enzyme glutamate-cysteine ligase, which is the rate limiting enzyme of glutathione synthesis. Mutation at this locus is associated with hemolytic anemia due to deficiency of γ-glutamylcysteine synthetase. Polymorphism in GCLC subunit is found to be associated with sulfamethoxazole-induced hypersensitivity in HIV/AIDS patients in a study. A GAG-trinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the 5′-untranslated region of the gene is shown to lower the levles of GCL activity and GSH (glutathione), a major intracellular antioxidant. Therefore, it is associated with increased risk for lung and aerodigestive tract cancers.

Glutathione (GSH), the major intracellular antioxidant, protects against cancer development by detoxifying carcinogens and free radicals and strengthening the immune system. Recently, a GAG-trinucleotide repeat polymorphism in the 5'-untranslated region of the gene for the rate-limiting enzyme for GSH biosynthesis

MicroRNA21 (MIR21) abundance in porcine oocytes and cumulus cells increases during in vitro maturation. The mechanism by which MIR21 regulates oocyte maturation and the effect on the developmental competence of subsequent embryos remains unclear. The objective of this study was

Acute kidney injury (AKI) induced by ischemia-reperfusion is a critical conundrum in many clinical settings. Here, this study aimed to determine whether and how RTA-408, a novel oleanane triterpenoid, could confer protection against renal ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) in male mice.
Sulfamethoxazole (SMX) is a commonly used antibiotic for prevention of infectious diseases associated with HIV/AIDS and immune-compromised states. SMX-induced hypersensitivity is an idiosyncratic cutaneous drug reaction with genetic components. Here, we tested association of candidate genes involved in SMX bioactivation
Glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL) catalyzes the rate-limiting step in the de novo synthesis of glutathione (GSH). The catalytic subunit (GCLC) of GCL contains a GAG trinucleotide-repeat (TNR) polymorphism within the 5'-untranslated region (5'-UTR) that has been associated with various human
