GSTO1 glutathione S-transferase omega 1

Gene ID: 9446, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: P28; SPG-R; GSTO 1-1; GSTTLp28; HEL-S-21

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an omega class glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione-dependent thiol transferase and dehydroascorbate reductase activities. GSTs are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and carcinogens. The encoded protein acts as a homodimer and is found in the cytoplasm. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]
