Gsta4 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables toxic substance binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lithium ion; response to herbicide; and response to zinc ion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Orthologous to human GSTA4 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 4). [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 rat Gsta4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
