Summary
The protein encoded by this gene, glutathione S-transferase (GST) theta 2 (GSTT2), is a member of a superfamily of proteins that catalyze the conjugation of reduced glutathione to a variety of electrophilic and hydrophobic compounds. Human GSTs can be divided into five main classes: alpha, mu, pi, theta, and zeta. The theta class includes GSTT1, GSTT2, and GSTT2B. GSTT2 and GSTT2B are nearly identical to each other, and share 55% amino acid identity with GSTT1. All three genes may play a role in human carcinogenesis. The GSTT2 gene is a pseudogene in some populations. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate in-frame splice site in the 3' coding region, compared to variant 1, resulting in an isoform (b) that is shorter than isoform a. This variant represents the ALT_REF_LOCI_1 alternate haplotype in the GRCh38 reference genome assembly.

RNA

  1. NR_126442.1 RNA Sequence

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) includes an additional internal exon and uses two alternate splice sites, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD). This variant represents the ALT_REF_LOCI_1 alternate haplotype in the GRCh38 reference genome assembly.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (1, non-coding) represents the non-functional and pseudogenic primary reference allele of the GRCh38 reference genome assembly. It differs at three nucleotide positions compared to variant 1, and includes a premature translational stop codon.
