Reported biological context includes: Cytosolic and membrane-bound forms of glutathione S-transferase are encoded by two distinct supergene families. These enzymes function in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjugation with glutathione.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eInteraction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eWestern blot (WB): compare relative abundance\/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eImmunofluorescence (IF): visualize localization and co-localization patterns in cells or tissues.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e   \u003cli\u003eIsoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eSpecies differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.\u003c\/li\u003e   \u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout\/knockdown\/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eEpitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a polyclonal antibody, recognition spans multiple epitopes, which can improve detection across conformations but may broaden background depending on sample context.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry (P08263) — UniProt Consortium — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/P08263\/entry - NCBI Gene search (GSTA) — NCBI — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=GSTA - Ensembl search (GSTA) — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=GSTA - PubMed search (GSTA) — NLM — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=GSTA - Reactome pathway search (GSTA) — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=GSTA --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"0.5mg\/ml if reconstituted with 0.2ml sterile DI water \/ 100 ug","offer_id":53043298009453,"sku":"R31915","price":449.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_01a53228-c4f4-4139-af38-9cf124b2b200.jpg?v=1771934805","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/gsta-antibody-glutathione-s-transferase-alpha-1-5-bha17105265","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
