GSTM2P1
Description
The GSTM2P1 (glutathione S-transferase mu 2 pseudogene 1) is a pseudo gene located on chromosome 6.
GSTM2P1 is a pseudogene located on chromosome 1. It is a non-functional copy of the GSTM2 gene, which encodes a glutathione S-transferase enzyme involved in detoxification. Pseudogenes are inactive genes that have lost their function due to mutations. The exact role of GSTM2P1 is unknown, but it may be involved in regulating the expression of the functional GSTM2 gene.
The precise function of GSTM2P1 remains to be elucidated. It's a pseudogene, meaning it's a non-functional copy of the active gene GSTM2. This implies it doesn't encode a protein with a specific role in the cell. However, it may play a regulatory role in the expression of the functional GSTM2 gene or have other indirect effects.
GSTM2P1 is also known as -.
