The GCLC gene encodes the catalytic heavy chain subunit of glutamine cysteine ligase. This enzyme contributes to the antioxidant response by synthesizing glutathione from glutamate and cysteine, and is a target gene of the KEAP1:NFE2L2 pathway (Sekhar et al, 2000; McMahon et al, 2001; Thimmulappa et al, 2002). Acetylation of NFE2L2 by CREBBP or EP300 increases the DNA-binding and transcription factor binding activity of NFE2L2 at the GCLC promoter (Sun et al, 2009).
