Glutathione S-Transferase, pi, Recombinant, Human, Western Blot Positive Control
Description
Purified (> 95%). GST's are responsible for the metabolism of a broad range of xenobiotics and carcinogens. The enzyme catalyzes the reaction of glutathione with a wide variety of organic compounds to form thioethers, a reaction that is sometimes a first step in a detoxification process leading to mercapturic acid formation. GSTs play an important role defense against electrophilic chemicals generated by cellular oxidative reactions catalyzed by cytochrome P450 and other oxidases. GSTs are believed to defend against the highly reactive electrophiles that are formed as a result of cellular oxidative processes. Based on amino acid sequence similarities and antibody cross-reactivities, the mammalian cytosolic GSTs are divided into the following classes: alpha, mu, kappa, theta, pi, zeta, omega and sigma. GSTs exists as homodimers of ~25kD. GST A1-1 is mainly found in kidney, intestine, lung, and liver. GST M1-1 is restricted to liver and few other tissues. GST P1-1 has a widespread distri
