Glutathione S-Transferase Assay Kit is a colorimetric method for assaying the activity of GST.
Description :
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 conjugates are metabolized further to mercapturic acid and then excreted. 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.
