The molecule is a molecular entity formed when L-cysteine amino group binds to the gamma-carbonyl of L-glutamic acid. It has a role as a human metabolite, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae metabolite, an Escherichia coli metabolite and a mouse metabolite. It derives from a L-glutamic acid and a L-cysteine. It is a conjugate acid of a L-gamma-glutamyl-L-cysteinate(1-).
