GSH2 — Brassica juncea

Summary

BJUA02G15370S (GSH2) on chromosome A02 of Indian mustard (Brassica juncea) encodes a glutathione synthase, a member of the glutathione synthase N-terminal eukaryotic family. The enzyme possesses glutathione synthase activity, glutathione binding, magnesium ion binding, ATP binding, and protein homodimerization activity. It is localized to the cytosol. The gene is associated with glutathione anabolism, sulfate assimilation, sulfur metabolism, and homeostasis. Related genes in other species link the family to glutathione biosynthesis.
