  • sarcoplasmic reticulum
    • basic FUNCTION
  • conjugating reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles
  • GSTM2-2 is a novel luminal regulator of the RyR channels in the heart (Wei 2008)
  • absence of GSTM1 activity can be compensated for by the overexpression of GSTM2

  • Ca(2+) release from the sarcoplasmic reticulum through cardiac ryanodine receptors (RYR2) is essential for heart function and is inhibited by the C-terminal domain of glutathione transferase M2-2 (GSTM2-C)
  • GSTM2 inhibiting RYR2, in a manner that indicates a possible therapeutic potential for treatment of arrhythmia in the neonatal heart
