Gsta1 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables dinitrosyl-iron complex binding activity; glutathione binding activity; and glutathione transferase activity. Involved in response to nutrient levels and xenobiotic catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human GSTA1 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 1).

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 Gsta1 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
  • fatty acid binding
  • steroid D-isomerase
  • Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold
