γ-グルタミルシステイン（γ-glutamylcysteine）は、グルタミン酸とシステインがペプチド結合したグルタチオンの前駆体である。（EC 6.3.2.2）によってグルタミン酸とシステインから合成され、さらにグルタチオン合成酵素（EC 6.3.2.3）によってグリシンと反応しグルタチオンに変換される。それぞれの反応ではATP一分子を消費する。
Abstract from DBpedia / Wikipedia · CC BY-SA
γ-L-Glutamyl-L-cysteine, also known as γ-glutamylcysteine (GGC), is a dipeptide found in animals, plants, fungi, some bacteria, and archaea. It has a relatively unusual γ-bond between the constituent amino acids, L-glutamic acid and L-cysteine and is a key intermediate in the γ-glutamyl cycle first described by Meister in the 1970s. It is the most immediate precursor to the antioxidant glutathione.
