Human intestinal glutathione S - transferases
Cytosolic glutathione S-transferases were purified from the epithelial cells of human small and large intestine. These preparations were characterized with regard to specific activities, subunit and isoenzyme composition. Isoenzyme composition and specific activity showed little variation from proximal to distal small intestine. Specific activities of hepatic and intestinal enzymes from the sam...
متن کاملClass-Pi of Glutathione S-Transferases
Class-Pi of glutathione s-transferases (GST-Pi) is the specific form of GSTs that are known to participate particularly in the mechanisms of resistance to drugs and carcinogens. This class of the enzyme is referred to as class-P or class-Pi or class π. The accepted terminology in this review article is class-Pi. In this article following a brief description of identified molecular forms of GSTs...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases in human liver cancer.
An immunohistochemical study of glutathione S-transferase (GST) expression in hepatocellular carcinoma and cholangiocarcinoma is described. Unlike most animal models of hepatic malignancy pi class GST was not consistently overexpressed in hepatocellular carcinoma. This tumour type either predominantly expressed alpha class GST or failed to express GST. By contrast, cholangiocarcinoma always exp...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases of human brain
Human brain contains one cationic (pI8.3) and two anionic (pI5.5 and 4.6) forms of glutathione S-transferase. The cationic form (pI 8.3) and the less-anionic form (p1 5.5) do not correspond to any of the glutathione S-transferases previously characterized in human tissues. Both of these forms are dimers of 26 500-Mr subunits; however, immunological and catalytic properties indicate that these t...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferases Null Genotype in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia
Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of metabolising enzymes plays an important role in the detoxification of mutagens and carcinogens. The expression of many of these cancer susceptibility enzymes is genetically polymorphic. An increased frequency of GST-null genotypes has been associated with several malignancies. Objective: To investigate the rate of GSTT1 and GSTM1 null ge...
