Summary: Enables glutathione binding activity and leukotriene-C4 synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipid; leukotriene biosynthetic process; and response to axon injury. Located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Biomarker of glomerulonephritis and peripheral nervous system disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma. Orthologous to human LTC4S (leukotriene C4 synthase).

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.
