This gene encodes a member of the kappa class of the glutathione transferase superfamily of enzymes that function in cellular detoxification. The encoded protein is localized to the peroxisome and catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione to a wide range of hydrophobic substates facilitating the removal of these compounds from cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
A study in porcine (Yorkshire crossbred swine) skin demonstrated that the GSTK1 was significantly increased at 24 hours following a 45-second cutaneous bromine exposure, as part of the NRF2-mediated oxidative stress signaling pathway [Price et al. DOI:10.1016/j.toxlet.2008.08.007].
