| Primary Identifier | MGI:95860 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 14862 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to xenobiotic stimulus. Located in myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; and sensory organ. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. 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 human GSTM1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 1) and GSTM5 (glutathione S-transferase mu 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for the deletion of this gene display a reduced ability to metabolize 1,2-dichloro-4-nitrobenzene. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele exhibit abnormal behavior, altered response to valproic acid, and increased serotonin and dopamine levels in the cerebellum.
