Microsomal glutathione S-transferase 2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the MGST2 gene.The MAPEG (Membrane-Associated Proteins in Eicosanoid and Glutathione metabolism) family consists of six human proteins several of which are involved in the production of leukotrienes and prostaglandin E important mediators of inflammation. This gene encodes a protein that catalyzes the conjugation of leukotriene A4 and reduced glutathione to produce leukotriene C4.
