Anti-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST)–Peroxidase Conjugate antibody produced in rabbit

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, and ζ.

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) 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.

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.
