GAD1 helps your body make GABA, a chemical messenger, from glutamate.
Also called: Glutamate Decarboxylase 1
The glutamate-to-GABA connection
Dr. Purser’s course uses GAD/GABA teaching to explain a connection between excitatory and inhibito…
GCLC helps make glutathione, an antioxidant your body produces.
Also called: Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Catalytic Subunit
Making glutathione is a process
Dr. Purser groups GCLC and GCLM as glutathione-synthesis machinery. GCLC supplies the c…
GCLM helps regulate one of the steps your body uses to make glutathione.
Also called: Glutamate-Cysteine Ligase Modifier Subunit
Making glutathione is a process
Dr. Purser groups GCLC and GCLM as glutathione-synthesis machinery. GCLM suppli…
GDF5 encodes growth differentiation factor 5, a signaling protein involved in skeletal development, joint formation and cartilage biology. Its name does not mean a SNP measures the ability to build muscle.
Also called: Growth Differentiatio…
GGH encodes gamma-glutamyl hydrolase, which removes glutamate residues from folate compounds. This affects folate handling and helps explain why folate metabolism includes retention and processing as well as intake.
Also called: Gamma-Gluta…
GPX1 helps cells use glutathione to handle peroxides.
Also called: Glutathione Peroxidase 1
Glutathione has enzyme partners
Dr. Purser teaches the glutathione peroxidase family alongside selenium and antioxidant support. GPX1 helps illustra…
GPX3 helps use glutathione in peroxide defense outside cells.
Also called: Glutathione Peroxidase 3
Glutathione has enzyme partners
Dr. Purser teaches the glutathione peroxidase family alongside selenium and antioxidant support. GPX3 helps …
GPX4 helps protect cell membranes from certain peroxides.
Also called: Glutathione Peroxidase 4
Glutathione has enzyme partners
Dr. Purser teaches the glutathione peroxidase family alongside selenium and antioxidant support. GPX4 helps illu…
GSR encodes glutathione reductase. It uses reducing power from NADPH to help convert oxidized glutathione back to reduced glutathione, allowing this antioxidant system to be reused.
Also called: Glutathione Reductase
Recycling used glutathi…
GSTM1 helps your body use glutathione to process some compounds.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Mu 1
Using glutathione in conjugation
GSTM1 belongs to the glutathione transferase family. These enzymes use glutathione in conjugation …
GSTO1 belongs to the omega family of glutathione S-transferases. These enzymes participate in redox chemistry, with roles that differ from the better-known GSTM1 and GSTP1 pathways.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Omega 1
An omega-fa…
GSTP1 helps your body use glutathione to process some compounds.
Also called: Glutathione S-Transferase Pi 1
Using glutathione in conjugation
GSTP1 belongs to the glutathione transferase family. These enzymes use glutathione in conjugation …
