gst-42 is orthologous to the human gene GLUTATHIONE TRANSFERASE ZETA-1 (also known as MALEYLACETOACETATE ISOMERASE; GSTZ1; OMIM:603758), which when mutated is thought to lead to a variety of type I tyrosinemia.
Enables identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine catabolic process and glutathione metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Expressed in intestine. Is an ortholog of human GSTZ1 (glutathione S-transferase zeta 1).
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.
