GSH is primarily synthesized intracellularly through two consecutive reactions catalyzed by -glutamylcysteine synthetase (Gsh1 in eukaryotes and GshA in prokaryotes, encoded by GSH1 and gshA , respectively) and glutathione synthetase (Gsh2 in eukaryotes and GshB in prokaryotes, encoded by GSH2 and gshB , respectively)
