Application

Anti-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutathione-S-transferase (GST) catalyzes the detoxication of electrophiles by glutathione conjugation. This enzyme provides protection against oxidative stress and toxic foreign chemicals. Polymorphism in GST gene is associated with the development of asthma and cutaneous basal cell carcinoma.

General description

The antibody is specific for native as well as denatured-reduced forms of glutathione-S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum. Anti-GST may be used in various immunoassays to identify the expression of GST fusion proteins.

Anti-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) antibody produced in rabbit is specific for native as well as denatured-reduced forms of glutathione-S-transferase from Schistosoma japonicum. The soluble GST is encoded by eight different genes in humans namely, α, μ, θ, π, ζ, σ, κ and ω on chromosome 6, 1, 22, 11, 14, 4, not known and 10 respectively.

Immunogen

recombinant GST from Schistosoma japonicum expressed in E. coli.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
