Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables glutathione transferase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione metabolic process and xenobiotic catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and intercellular bridge. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including GSTM1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 1).
