Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * GSTM2 is a single-pass membrane protein that is found in the endoplasmic reticulum. * It is a member of the GST class of enzymes, which are involved in the metabolism of glutathione, a molecule that is involved in protecting cells from damage caused by reactive oxygen species. * GSTM2 is expressed in high levels in cells that are exposed to oxidative stress, such as liver cells and immune cells. * It is also expressed in cells that are involved in calcium signaling, such as cardiac muscle cells and skeletal muscle cells. **Pathways and functions:** * GSTM2 is involved in the following pathways: * Biological oxidations * Enzyme binding * Fatty acid binding * Glutathione binding * Glutathione conjugation * Glutathione metabolic process * Glutathione peroxidase activity * Glutathione transferase activity * It also regulates the release of sequestered calcium ions into the cytosol by acting as a chaperone for calcium-binding proteins. **Clinical significance:** GSTM2 is a potential therapeutic target for a variety of diseases, including liver disease, cancer, and cardiovascular disease. Inhibition of GSTM2 has been shown to protect cells from damage caused by oxidative stress and to improve disease outcomes in animal models of these diseases. **Additional information:** * The gene encoding GSTM2 is located on chromosome 19q21.1. * It is a highly conserved gene, with a similar gene found in humans, mice, and rats. * GSTM2 is a well-studied gene, and there are a number of drugs that target it for therapeutic purposes.
