Enables glutathione binding activity and leukotriene-C4 synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lipopolysaccharide; cellular response to vitamin A; and leukotriene biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and nuclear outer membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear envelope. Biomarker of glomerulonephritis; intrahepatic cholestasis; periodontitis; and peripheral nervous system disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in allergic disease (multiple); asthma (multiple); cerebrovascular disease (multiple); sinusitis; and urticaria. Orthologous to human LTC4S (leukotriene C4 synthase); PARTICIPATES IN acetylsalicylic acid pharmacodynamics pathway; antipyrine drug pathway; arachidonic acid metabolic pathway; INTERACTS WITH 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 7,12-dimethyltetraphene; acetamide.
