MGST2 — Microsomal glutathione S-transferase 2
MGST2 belongs to a gene co-expression module in 5 of 28 SCUBA cell types. Each module groups genes that rise and fall together in that cell type; the genes it shares a module with are its closest co-expression partners there.

Function
Catalyzes several different glutathione-dependent reactions. Catalyzes the glutathione-dependent reduction of lipid hydroperoxides, such as 5-HPETE. Has glutathione transferase activity, toward xenobiotic electrophiles, such as 1-chloro-2, 4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB). Also catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 with reduced glutathione to form leukotriene C4 (LTC4). Involved in oxidative DNA damage induced by ER stress and anticancer agents by activating LTC4 biosynthetic machinery in nonimmune cells.
