Enables

This protein enables 7 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
leukotriene-C4 synthase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: leukotriene C(4) = glutathione + leukotriene A(4). [EC:4.4.1.20, RHEA:17617]
protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to a protein. [GOC:go_curators]
enzyme activator activitymolecular functionBinds to and increases the activity of an enzyme. [GOC:dph, GOC:mah, GOC:tb]
lipid bindingmolecular functionBinding to a lipid. [GOC:ai]
identical protein bindingmolecular functionBinding to an identical protein or proteins. [GOC:jl]
glutathione peroxidase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: 2 glutathione + hydrogen peroxide = oxidized glutathione + 2 H2O. [EC:1.11.1.9, PMID:36771108]
glutathione transferase activitymolecular functionCatalysis of the reaction: R-X + glutathione = H-X + R-S-glutathione. R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a sulfate, nitrile or halide group. [EC:2.5.1.18]

Located In

This protein is located in 7 target(s):

TargetCategoryDefinition
nuclear envelopecellular componentThe double lipid bilayer enclosing the nucleus and separating its contents from the rest of the cytoplasm; includes the intermembrane space, a gap of width 20-40 nm (also called the perinuclear space). [ISBN:0198547684]
nuclear outer membranecellular componentThe outer, i.e. cytoplasm-facing, lipid bilayer of the nuclear envelope; continuous with the endoplasmic reticulum of the cell and sometimes studded with ribosomes. [ISBN:0198547684]
endoplasmic reticulumcellular componentThe irregular network of unit membranes, visible only by electron microscopy, that occurs in the cytoplasm of many eukaryotic cells. The membranes form a complex meshwork of tubular channels, which are often expanded into slitlike cavities called cisternae. The ER takes two forms, rough (or granular), with ribosomes adhering to the outer surface, and smooth (with no ribosomes attached). [ISBN:0198506732]
endoplasmic reticulum membranecellular componentThe lipid bilayer surrounding the endoplasmic reticulum. [GOC:mah]
membranecellular componentA lipid bilayer along with all the proteins and protein complexes embedded in it and attached to it. [GOC:dos, GOC:mah, ISBN:0815316194]
nuclear membranecellular componentEither of the lipid bilayers that surround the nucleus and form the nuclear envelope; excludes the intermembrane space. [GOC:mah, GOC:pz]
intracellular membrane-bounded organellecellular componentOrganized structure of distinctive morphology and function, bounded by a single or double lipid bilayer membrane and occurring within the cell. Includes the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, and vesicles. Excludes the plasma membrane. [GOC:go_curators]
