Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including anion binding activity; dinitrosyl-iron complex binding activity; and glutathione peroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione metabolic process and xenobiotic metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in Leydig cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including GSTA1 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 1); GSTA2 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 2); and GSTA3 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 3).
