Description
Glutathione S-transferase omega 2, also known as GSTO2, belongs to the GST superfamily and may be involved in catalyzing the reaction of glutathione with a wide variety of organic compounds to form thioethers, a process that is essential for the metabolism and detoxification of a variety of xenobiotics and carcinogens. GSTO2 is related to GSTO1 and is expressed in a variety of tissues throughout the body where it functions to catalyze the conversion of RX and glutathione to HX and R-S-glutathione. Recombinant human GSTO2 protein, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
