Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables glutathione transferase activity. Acts upstream of or within glutathione metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of TRAF2-GSTP1 complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cranium; eye; heart; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including allergic disease (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); reproductive organ cancer (multiple); and respiratory system disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GSTP1 (glutathione S-transferase pi 1).
