gamma-Glu-Cys (ammonium salt)

gamma-Glu-Cys is an intermediate in glutathione (GSH) synthesis. It is formed by ATP-dependent condensation of cysteine and glutamate by gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase. gamma-Glu-Cys is also an essential component of phytochelatins, the heavy metal detoxifying enzymes in plants.Formal Name: L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteine, ammonium salt.
