Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 14871 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables glutathione transferase activity. Involved in glutathione metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; eye; genitourinary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); cancer (multiple); cardiovascular system disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to human GSTT1 (glutathione S-transferase theta 1). PHENOTYPE: Mis homozygous for disruption of this gene appear to be normal and fertile with the exception of a reduced ability to clear 11,2-bis(2-chloroethyl)-1-nitrosourea from the plasma after a single i.p. dose.
