Rat glutathione synthetase gene

摘要

The present invention relates to recombinant rat kidney glutathione synthetase. This enzyme can be used to prepare glutathione analogs, and to raise antibodies against glutathione synthetase. The present invention further relates to a DNA molecule encoding rat kidney glutathione synthetase. The DNA molecule is useful for detecting the presence of the glutathione synthetase gene in animals, and for modifying cell and mammal glutathione production. The DNA molecule can also be used to construct models for evaluation of potential therapies.
