Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 14871 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glutathione transferase activity. Involved in glutathione metabolic process. Located in cytosol. 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.
