| 733649 | HGS | hepatocyte growth factor-regulated tyrosine kinase substrate | The protein encoded by this gene regulates endosomal sorting and plays a critical role in the recycling and degradation of membrane receptors. The encoded protein sorts monoubiquitinated membrane proteins into the multivesicular body, targeting these proteins for lysosome-dependent degradation.

| 1606456 | HGSNAT | heparan-alpha-glucosaminide N-acetyltransferase | This gene encodes a lysosomal acetyltransferase, which is one of several enzymes involved in the lysosomal degradation of heparin sulfate. Mutations in this gene are associated with Sanfilippo syndrome C, one type of the lysosomal storage disease mucopolysaccaridosis III, which results from impaired degradation of heparan sulfate.

| 1606879 | GSTK1 | glutathione S-transferase kappa 1 | This gene encodes a member of the kappa class of the glutathione transferase superfamily of enzymes that function in cellular detoxification. The encoded protein is localized to the peroxisome and catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione to a wide range of hydrophobic substates facilitating the remo val of these compounds from cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009] | 7 | 143263441 | 143269115 | Human | 236 | old_gene_symbol | gene, protein-coding, REVIEWED [RefSeq] |
| 1349768 | GSTM3 | glutathione S-transferase mu 3 | Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of glutathione S-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. At present, eight distinct classes of the soluble cytoplasmic mammalian glutathione S-transferases have been identified: alpha, kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta and zeta. This gene encod es a glutathione S-transferase that belongs to the mu class. The mu class of enzymes functions in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjugation with glutathione. The genes encoding the mu class of enzymes are organized in a gene cluster on chromosome 1p13.3 and are known to be highly polymorphic. These genetic variations can change an individual's susceptibility to carcinogens and toxins as well as affect the toxicity and efficacy of certain drugs. Mutations of this class mu gene have been linked with a slight increase in a number of cancers, likely due to exposure with environmental toxins. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2008] | 1 | 109733937 | 109741038 | Human | 446 | old_gene_name | gene, protein-coding, REVIEWED [RefSeq] |
