Gsta3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable glutathione transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione metabolic process and xenobiotic metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to human GSTA1 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 1); GSTA2 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 2); and GSTA5 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 5).

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 Gsta3 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
- glutathione transferase
- Protein Disulfide Oxidoreductases and Other Proteins with a Thioredoxin fold
- enzyme
