Background/Introduction: Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are ubiquitous multifunctional enzymes, which play a key role in cellular detoxification. The enzymes protect cells against toxicants by conjugating them to glutathione, thereby neutralizing their electrophilic sites, and rendering the products more water-soluble. The glutathione conjugatesare metabolized further to mercapturic acid and then excreted. GST has the activity of GSH-Px, also called non-Se GSH-Px, which has the function of repairing oxidative damage of macromolecule such as DNA, protein and so on. GST catalyzed reaction decreased GSH content, but did not increase GSSG content. Based on their sequence homology, substrate specificity and immunological cross-reactivity, GSTs have been grouped into species-independent classes of isozymes. These classes are comprised of both cytosolic and microsomal enzymes.

Product Notes
The GST (Catalog #AAA9718984) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. GST catalyzes the binding of GSH to CDNB. The conjugation is accompanied by an increase in absorbance at 340 nm. The rate of increase is directly proportional to the GST activity in the sample. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the GST for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Glutathione S-Transferase (GST), Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
