Gsta5 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables several functions, including dinitrosyl-iron complex binding activity; glutathione binding activity; and glutathione transferase activity. Involved in xenobiotic catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including GSTA2 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 2).

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 rat Gsta5 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
- C-terminal, alpha helical domain of the Glutathione S-transferase family
- Glutathione S-transferase, N-terminal domain
- binding protein
- glutathione transferase
- steroid D-isomerase
- Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold
- protein homodimerization
- enzyme
