Key elements and design rationale
- Antibody format: Rabbit Polyclonal Rabbit IgG
- Immunogen / epitope context: E. coli-derived rat GST3 / GST pi recombinant protein (Position: P2-Q210). (reported region: P2-Q210).
- Molecular weight context: reported MW: 23 kDa; calculated MW: nan
- Reactivity: Human,Mouse,Rat
- Applications: ELISA, IF, IHC, ICC, WB
As a polyclonal antibody, the reagent recognizes multiple epitopes on the target, which can improve detection robustness but may increase sensitivity to sample-dependent epitope changes.
Biological background
glutathione S-transferase pi 1. Glutathione S-transferases pi (GSTP1), also known as GST3, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the GSTP1 gene. This gene is mapped to 11q13.2. GSTP1 has 7 exons and 6 introns contained within approximately 2.8 kilobases. GSTP1 belongs to Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) which are a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of many hydrophobic and electrophilic compounds with reduced glutathione. GSTP1 presents in all tissues and cells, with the exception of red cells, in which only erythrocyte GST (GSTe) is observed. What's more, GSTP1 is a polymorphic gene encoding active, functionally different GSTP1 variant proteins that are thought to function in xenobiotic metabolism and play a role in susceptibility to cancer, and other diseases. Functional note: Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. Regulates negatively CDK5 activity via p25/p35 translocation to prevent neurodegeneration (By similarity). . Reported localization: Cytoplasm . Mitochondrion . Nucleus . The 83 N-terminal amino acids function as un uncleaved transit peptide, and arginine residues within it are crucial for mitochondrial localization. . Expression/tissue context: Present in kidney, lung, testis and placenta, very low levels in liver.
Research relevance and current trends
- Cancer: Researchers commonly examine how Gstp1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Cardiovascular: Researchers commonly examine how Gstp1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
- Metabolism: Researchers commonly examine how Gstp1 relates to this theme using model systems and orthogonal readouts.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative Gstp1 levels across conditions; band patterns may reflect isoforms and processing.
- IHC/IHC-F: assess spatial distribution of Gstp1 across tissue regions and cell types using matched controls.
- IF/ICC: evaluate subcellular localization and co-localization patterns; signal can depend on fixation/permeabilization and epitope accessibility.
- ELISA-compatible use: when applicable, interpret signal as relative abundance across sample sets with consistent handling and dilution strategy.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Specificity notes: No cross reactivity with other proteins.
- Cross-reactivity: No cross-reactivity with other proteins.
- Isoforms and PTMs: Apparent size and signal patterns can differ across splice isoforms, proteolytic processing, and post-translational modifications.
- Controls: Include an isotype control (as relevant), no-primary control for imaging, and orthogonal validation such as KD/KO samples when available.
