Gsta5 - glutathione S-transferase alpha 5

Predicted to enable several functions, including anion binding activity; dinitrosyl-iron complex binding activity; and glutathione peroxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione metabolic process and xenobiotic catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in fetal Leydig cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including GSTA1 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 1); GSTA2 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 2); and GSTA3 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 3).
