Summary: Enables organic cyclic compound binding activity and toxic substance binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lithium ion; response to herbicide; and response to zinc ion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrion. Orthologous to human GSTA4 (glutathione S-transferase alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

These results showed and mapped naturally occurring genetic differences in the expression of Gsta4 associated both with a highly significant increase in the survival of axotomized motoneurons and with a trans-regulation of several molecular pathways.

A novel haplotype variant in the rat Gsta4 gene leads to increased brain transcript levels in ethanol-preferring AA rats compared to nonpreferring ANA rats, and may contribute to the difference in lifespan between these rodent lines.

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.
