Omega Class Glutathione S-Transferase: Antioxidant Enzyme in Pathogenesis of Neurodegenerative Diseases
The omega class glutathione S-transferases (GSTOs) are multifunctional enzymes involved in cellular defense and have distinct structural and functional characteristics, which differ from those of other GSTs. Previous studies provided evidence for the neuroprotective effects of GSTOs. However, the molecular mechanisms underpinning the neuroprotective functions of GSTOs have not been fully elucid...
متن کاملTocopherol esters inhibit human glutathione S-transferase omega.
Human glutathione S-transferase omega 1-1 (hGSTO1-1) is a newly identified member of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of genes, which also contains alpha, mu, pi, sigma, theta, and zeta members. hGSTO1-1 catalyzes the reduction of arsenate, monomethylarsenate (MMA(V)), and dimethylarsenate (DMA(V)) and exhibits thioltransferase and dehydroascorbate reductase activities. Recent evidenc...
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 کاملErythrocyte glutathione S-transferase. Electrophoretic identification of two enzyme forms.
Starch-gel electrophoresis was used to demonstrate two forms of glutathione S-transferase in human erythrocytes. Whereas considerable inter-individual differences in enzyme activity and electrophoretic patterns were detected, intra-individual differences were small.
متن کاملStructure of human glutathione S-transferase class Mu genes.
Nucleotide sequencing of a human cosmid clone shows that the exon-intron structures of a glutathione S-transferase multigene family are conserved between man and rat, that the human gene family is clustered and that gene conversion events have occurred within the cluster. In addition, between man and rat, there is a high degree of nucleotide sequence identity not only in exons but also in some ...
