Gsta2 - glutathione S-transferase, alpha 2 (Yc2)

Predicted to enable several functions, including anion binding activity; dinitrosyl-iron complex binding activity; and glutathione peroxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium and response to stilbenoid. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma and ovarian cancer. Orthologous to several human genes including GSTA5 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
