Tissue specificity:Liver, spleen, skeletal muscle, heart, adrenals, pancreas, prostate, testis, fetal liver, and fetal spleen. Very low expression in lung, brain, placenta and bone marrow (PubMed:8703034). Abundantly expressed in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (at protein level) (PubMed:11322876). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11322876, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8703034}.
Induction:Upon ER stress with brefeldin A or with tunicamycin, MGST2 is down-regulated, in several non-haematopoietic cell types, during the early, protective phase of the unfolded protein response (UPR), and up-regulated at the late, death-promoting phase of the unfolded protein response (UPR). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26656251}.
Developmental stage:
Protein families:MAPEG family
