Summary: Enables glutathione binding activity; glutathione transferase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including glutathione metabolic process; response to catechin; and response to genistein. Located in cytosol. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); hematologic cancer (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Orthologous to several human genes including GSTM1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

GSTM2C is translocated into the cytoplasm of neonatal cardiomyocytes and is effective in reducing spontaneous contractility and that its actions on field stimulated Ca2+ release and contraction is very similar to that reported for adult cardiomyocytes.
Title: The GSTM2 C-Terminal Domain Depresses Contractility and Ca2+ Transients in Neonatal Rat Ventricular Cardiomyocytes.
These data suggest that it maybe a reduction in antioxidant defenses, evident by a reduced expression and activity of GSTM2, in the left ventricles and aortas of SHR that leads to increased levels of superoxide anion and activation of NADPH oxidase.
Title: Reduced expression of GSTM2 and increased oxidative stress in spontaneously hypertensive rat.
The present findings suggest that regulation of GST M1, and possibly GST A4, may mediate the anti-oxidative effects of valproate treatment, and regulation of GST may be involved in the mood stabilizing effect of valproate and lithium
Title: Glutathione S-transferase is a novel target for mood stabilizing drugs in primary cultured neurons.
Data describe the conformational stability of the chimeric homodimers M(12)-(12) and M(21)-(21) constructed from glutathione transferases M1-1 and M2-2.
Title: Impact of domain interchange on conformational stability and equilibrium folding of chimeric class micro glutathione transferases.

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.
