Description
Product Characteristics:
GST is a 26 kDa protein encoded by the parasitic helminth Schistosoma japonicum and widely used in the pGEX family of GST plasmid expression vectors as a fusion protein with foreign proteins.
Synonyms: glutathione-S-transferase, Glutathione S Transferase, Glutathione S transferase Mu 1, GST 26, GST class mu 1, GST1, GSTM1, GSTM1 1, GSTM1a 1a, GSTM1b 1b, GTH4, GTM1, H B, HB subunit 4, MGC26563, MU 1, MU, SJ26 antigen, SjGST.
Target Information: This gene encodes a member of the kappa class of the glutathione transferase superfamily of enzymes that function in cellular detoxification. The encoded protein is localized to the peroxisome and catalyzes the conjugation of glutathione to a wide range of hydrophobic substates facilitating the removal of these compounds from cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2009]
