Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) are involved in protecting cellular macromolecules from the reactive electrophiles. The μ and π transferases regulate the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway. GSTs help in building up cellular resistance against microbial antibiotic, herbicides, insecticides, chemotherapy agents and drugs.

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.

Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) belongs to a family of Phase II detoxification enzymes which are involved in catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione (GSH) with many exogenous and endogenous electrophilic substances. GST is of two kinds- membrane-bound microsomal and cytosolic. The cytosolic GSTs are made of six classes: α,μ,ω,π,θ, andζ.

Immunogen

recombinant GST from Schistosoma japonicum expressed in E. coli.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 0.05% MIT.

Preparation Note

Prepared by the two-step glutaraldehyde method described by Avrameas, S., et al., Scand. J. Immunol., 8, Suppl. 7, 7 (1978).

Specificity

Recombinant target proteins are often expressed as a fusion product with Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) tags using various expression vector constructs. Thus, antibodies directed against the GST tags of the recombinant constructs can facilitate the purification and study of target proteins.
