TAIR Curator Summary:
Encodes glutathione transferase belonging to the tau class of GSTs. Naming convention according to Wagner et al. (2002). It is involved in the detoxification of the environmental pollutant 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene. Arabidopsis plants over-expressing At1g17170 were more resistant to TNT, removed more TNT from sterile and soil-based media, and had reduced levels of glutathione when grown in the presence of TNT.
