Glutathione synthetase (GSS) (EC 6.3.2.3) is the second enzyme in the glutathione biosynthesis pathway. It catalyses the condensation of gamma-glutamylcysteine and glycine, to form glutathione.[1]

In eukaryotes, this is a homodimeric enzyme. In humans, defects in GSS are inherited in an autosomal recessive way and are the cause of severe metabolic acidosis, 5-oxoprolinuria, and increased rate of haemolysis and defective function of the central nervous system. The substrate-binding domain has a 3-layer alpha/beta/alpha structure.[2]
