Glutathione S Transferase kappa 1 Proteins and Enzymes

Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are a superfamily of enzymes that play a vital functional role in the cellular detoxification process. They catalyze the conjugation of the thiol group of glutathione (GSH) to the electrophilic groups of a wide range of hydrophobic substrates, leading to an easier removal of the latter from the cells (1) The Kappa class of GSTs comprises soluble enzymes originally isolated from the mitochondrial matrix of rats. Gsk1 catalyses some typical GST reactions, it has ...
