Facts about Glutathione-specific gamma-glutamylcyclotransferase 1.
Glutathione depletion is an important factor for apoptosis initiation and execution. Acts as a pro-apoptotic part of the unfolded protein response pathway by mediating the pro-apoptotic impacts of the ATF4-ATF3- DDIT3/CHOP cascade (By similarity).
