In enzymology a glutathione synthase (EC 6.3.2.3) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionATP + gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine + glycine ADP + phosphate + glutathioneThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are ATP gamma-L-glutamyl-L-cysteine and glycine whereas its 3 products are ADP phosphate and glutathione.This enzyme belongs to the family of ligases specifically those forming carbon-nitrogen bonds as acid-D-amino-acid ligases (peptide synthases).
