Abstract excerpt
The human alpha class glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) consist of 5 genes, hGSTA1-hGSTA5, and 7 pseudogenes on chromosome 6p12.1-6p12.2. hGSTA1-hGSTA4 have been well characterized as proteins, but hGSTA5 has not been detected as a gene product. hGSTA1-1 (and to a lesser extent hGSTA2-2) catalyzes the GSH-dependent detoxification of carcinogenic metabolites of environmental pollutants and tobacco smoke (e.g.,...
