appears to be associated with activation of survival pathways (Akt and ERK1/2) and inhibition of apoptotic pathways (JNK1), as well as protection against cisplatin-induced apoptosis
Susceptibility
  • to variation of the age at onset of Alzheimer disease
  • to hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and breast cancer
  • Variant & Polymorphism insertion/deletion
  • polymorphic deletion of Glu-155 causes a deficiency of GSTO1 (by its low stability, resulting from its increased propensity to unfold), may contribute to the observed association of GSTO1 with the age at onset of Alzheimer disease
  • GSTO1*A140D polymorphism could play an important role as a risk factor for the development ofhepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma and breast cancer
  • Candidate gene
