Gstm6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including glutathione binding activity; glutathione transferase activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular detoxification of nitrogen compound; fatty acid metabolic process; and glutathione derivative biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol and intercellular bridge. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; heart; intestine; liver; and lung. 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 human GSTM1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 1) and GSTM5 (glutathione S-transferase mu 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Gstm6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • Glutathione S-transferase, C-terminal domain
  • Glutathione S-transferase, N-terminal domain
  • C-terminal, alpha helical domain of the Glutathione S-transferase family
  • binding protein
  • glutathione transferase
  • Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold
  • enzyme binding
  • protein homodimerization
