Regulation of glutathione synthesis

This review explores the regulation of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, highlighting its critical role in antioxidant defense, cellular proliferation, and redox balance. The process involves two key enzymes: glutamate cysteine ligase (GCL), which catalyzes the rate-limiting step, and GSH synthase (GS), which converts γ-glutamylcysteine to GSH. GSH synthesis is tightly regulated
