Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glutathione transferase activity. Acts upstream of or within glutathione metabolic process. Located 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). PHENOTYPE: Mutant mice with null mutations in both Gstp1 and Gstp2 exhibit an increased susceptibility to DMBA and TPA induced skin papillomas. Male mutant mice exhibit an increased body weight with age. [provided by MGI curators] |
