GENE - CHEMICAL INTERACTIONS REPORT

RGD ID: 736793
Species: Homo sapiens
RGD Object: Gene
Symbol: GCLC
Name: glutamate-cysteine ligase, catalytic subunit
Acc ID: CHEBI:17650
Term: cortisol
Definition: Cortisol is a corticosteroid hormone or glucocorticoid produced by zona fasciculata of the adrenal cortex, which is a part of the adrenal gland. It is usually referred to as the 'stress hormone' as it is involved in response to stress and anxiety, controlled by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). It increases blood pressure and blood sugar, and reduces immune responses
CasRN: 50-23-7
Chemical ID: MESH:D006854
