gst-38 encodes a glutathione-S-transferase; gst-38 is predicted to function as a phase II detoxification enzyme and its expression is altered in response to stress; a GST-38::GFP reporter is expressed in the intestine.
Predicted to enable transferase activity. Involved in PERK-mediated unfolded protein response and innate immune response. Is an ortholog of human HPGDS (hematopoietic prostaglandin D synthase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
