Gene information for GSTT2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2953
Official gene symbolGSTT2
Full nameglutathione S-transferase theta 2
Aliases,MGC182032,
Gene summaryGlutathione S-transferase (GSTs) theta 2 (GSTT2) is a member of a superfamily of proteins that catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione to a variety of electrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. Human GSTs can be divided into five main classes: Alpha, Mu, Pi, Theta, and Zeta. The theta class members GSTT1 and GSTT2 share 55% amino acid sequence identity and both are thought to have an important role in human carcinogenesis. The theta genes have a similar structure, being composed of five exons with identical exon/intron boundaries. [provided by RefSeq]
