Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of
glutathione S-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. This gene
encodes a glutathione S-transferase that belongs to the mu class. The mu class of enzymes
functions in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens,
therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjugation
with glutathione. These genetic variations can change an individual's susceptibility to
carcinogens and toxins as well as affect the toxicity and efficacy of certain drugs. Null
mutations of this class mu gene have been linked with an increase in a number of cancers,
likely due to an increased susceptibility to environmental toxins and carcinogens.
