Gene information for MGST3 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4259
Official gene symbolMGST3
Full namemicrosomal glutathione S-transferase 3
Aliases,GST-III,
Gene summaryThe MAPEG (Membrane Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione metabolism) family consists of six human proteins, several of which are involved the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandin E, important mediators of inflammation. This gene encodes an enzyme which catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 and reduced glutathione to produce leukotriene C4. This enzyme also demonstrates glutathione-dependent peroxidase activity towards lipid hydroperoxides. [provided by RefSeq]
