GSTA1 - glutathione S-transferase alpha 1 Gene
Also Known as GST2; GTH1; GSTA1-1; GST-epsilon
Species: Homo sapiens
About GSTA1
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 129 orthologues and 11 paralogues. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 342.4), kidney (RPKM 288.3) and 6 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of a family of Enzymes that function to add glutathione to target electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. This action is an important step in detoxification of these compounds. This subfamily of Enzymes has a particular role in protecting cells from Reactive Oxygen Species and the products of peroxidation. Polymorphisms in this gene influence the ability of individuals to metabolize different drugs. This gene is located in a cluster of similar genes and pseudogenes on chromosome 6. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
