{"symbol":"GSTO1","synonyms":["HEL-S-21","GSTTLP28","GSTO 1-1","SPG-R"],"name":"glutathione S-transferase omega 1","description":"The protein encoded by this gene is an omega class glutathione S-transferase (GST) with glutathione-dependent thiol transferase and dehydroascorbate reductase activities. GSTs are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and carcinogens. The encoded protein acts as a homodimer and is found in the cytoplasm. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
