Gstm2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables glutathione transferase activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione metabolic process; hepoxilin biosynthetic process; and xenobiotic catabolic process. Located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including GSTM1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Gstm2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
