Product Description
Glutathione S-Transferase, 218 a.a. Recombinant
Overview
Glutathione S-transferase or GST, stands for a large family of detoxification proteins and enzymes. Glutathione S-transferase catalyzes glutathione reaction and an acceptor molecule to create S-substituted glutathione (S stands for sulfur). By this reaction, a large variety of compounds, for example therapeutic drugs, carcinogens & oxidative stress products, transformed. Glutathione S-transferase acts as a transport protein by binding toxins and acts as a transport protein. At first, the protein was isolated from Schistosomajaponicum, nowadays it is isolated from E. coli bacteria.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 10unit/mg, and is defined as the amount of enzyme that conjugate 1.0 umole of 1-chloro2,4-dinitrobenzene (CDNB) with reduced glutathione per minute at pH 6.5 at 25C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | GST S. Japonicum protein solution (1mg/ml) contains Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol. |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
