GeneID: 168

Description:
GSTP1 is a member of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of detoxification enzymes, which catalyse conjugation reactions between the reduced form of glutathione (a nucleophile) and a variety of electrophilic compounds such as environmental toxins and carcinogens. GSTs are encoded by polymorphic genes divided into five classes: α, ζ, μ, π, and θ. GSTP1 belongs to the π (pi) class of the GST enzyme family and is the most prevalent isoform in non-hepatic tissues. It has been suggested a role in jun kinase inhibition. Polymoprhisms in this gene associated with risk of osteoporosis in β-thalassaemia major patients.
