Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) theta 1 (GSTT1) has been regarded as one of the key enzymes involved in phase II reactions because of its unique substrate specificity. In this study, we generated mice with the disrupted Gstt1 gene (Gstt1-null mice) by gene targeting and analyzed the metabolic properties in cytosolic and in vivo studies. The resulting Gstt1-null mice failed to express the Gstt1 mRNA and GSTT1...
