CTH Gene Information

HGNC symbol
CTH 
Aliases
CSE 
Common name
cystathionine gamma-lyase 
Entrez Id
1491
Description
This gene encodes a cytoplasmic enzyme in the trans-sulfuration pathway that converts cystathione derived from methionine into cysteine. Glutathione synthesis in the liver is dependent upon the availability of cysteine. Mutations in this gene cause cystathioninuria. Alternative splicing of this gene results in three transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2010].
