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] Expression Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 118.1), small intestine (RPKM 106.3) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
