• Description: Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification of xenobiotics. GST catalyzes attachment of the thiol of glutathione to electrophiles. Glutathione is used to scavenge potentially toxic compounds including those produced as a result of oxidative stress and is part of the defense mechanism neutralizing the mutagenic, carcinogenic and toxic effects of such compounds. The GST Activity Assay Kit (Colorimetric) is based upon the GST-catalyzed reaction between GSH and the GST substrate, CDNB (1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene, which has the broadest range of isozymes detectability (e.g., alpha-, mu-, pi-, and other GST isoforms, except theta). Under certain conditions, the interaction between glutathione and CDNB is totally dependent on the presence of active GST.
