Function | Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. This isozyme has a high catalytic efficiency with 4-hydroxyalkenals such as 4- hydroxynonenal (4-HNE). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10329152, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20085333}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed at a high level in brain, placenta, and skeletal muscle and much lower in lung and liver. |
