UniProt functional annotation for P26697

UniProt code: P26697.

Organism: Gallus gallus (Chicken).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Archelosauria; Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves; Neognathae; Galloanserae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus.
 
Function: Catalyzes the conjugation of GSH to a wide variety of electrophilic alkylating agents. Also involved in the metabolism of lipid hydroperoxides, prostaglandins and leukotriene A4 and in binding of non-substrate hydrophobic ligands such as bile acids, a number of drugs and thyroid hormones. This GST does not exhibit peroxidase activity.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=glutathione + RX = a halide anion + an S-substituted glutathione + H(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16437, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:16042, ChEBI:CHEBI:17792, ChEBI:CHEBI:57925, ChEBI:CHEBI:90779; EC=2.5.1.18; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q16772}; PhysiologicalDirection=left-to-right; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:16438; Evidence={ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q16772};
Subunit: Homodimer or heterodimer (with a subunit from group CL-4).
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm.
Miscellaneous: The variations were found from AA sequencing and imply there are multiple forms of CL-3.
Similarity: Belongs to the GST superfamily. Alpha family. {ECO:0000305}.
