gstk-2 encodes one of two C. elegans kappa class glutathione transferases; while gstk-2(RNAi) animals exhibit no obvious developmental or morphological abnormalities, animals doubly mutant for gstk-2 and gstk-1 exhibit decreased respiration and a lower concentration of the monounsaturated fatty acid cis-vaccenic acid; GSTK-2 is expressed primarily in the pharynx, muscles, and epidermis and localizes to mitochondria.
