Glutamate—cysteine ligase catalytic subunit is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GCLC gene.Glutamate-cysteine ligase also known as gamma-glutamylcysteine synthetase is the first rate limiting enzyme of glutathione synthesis. The enzyme consists of two subunits a heavy catalytic subunit and a light regulatory subunit. The gene encoding the catalytic subunit encodes a protein of 367 amino acids with a calculated molecular weight of 72.773 kDa and maps to chromosome 6.
