GSTA4
gene geneOn this page
Summary
GSTA4 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 4, HGNC:4629) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 6p12.2, encoding Glutathione S-transferase A4 (O15217). Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles.
Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of glutathione S-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. These enzymes are involved in cellular defense against toxic, carcinogenic, and pharmacologically active electrophilic compounds. At present, eight distinct classes of the soluble cytoplasmic mammalian glutathione S-transferases have been identified: alpha, kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta and zeta. This gene encodes a glutathione S-tranferase belonging to the alpha class. The alpha class genes, which are located in a cluster on chromosome 6, are highly related and encode enzymes with glutathione peroxidase activity that function in the detoxification of lipid peroxidation products. Reactive electrophiles produced by oxidative metabolism have been linked to a number of degenerative diseases including Parkinson’s disease, Alzheimer’s disease, cataract formation, and atherosclerosis.
