Gsto2 Gene Summary [Rat]
The protein encoded by this gene is an omega class glutathione S-transferase (GST). GSTs are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and carcinogens. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jul 2010]

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 Gsto2 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 dehydrogenase (ascorbate)
- Glutathione S-transferase, N-terminal domain
- C-terminal, alpha helical domain of the Glutathione S-transferase family
- glutathione transferase
- oxidoreductase
- Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold
- enzyme
- protein binding
- identical protein binding
