Abstract excerpt
AIM: The GST enzyme, encoded by hGSTA1 gene, catalyses the GSH dependant detoxification of a variety of carcinogenic metabolites and alkylating chemotherapeutic agents. Two genetic variants of hGSTA1, namely hGSTA1*A and hGSTA1*B, are characterized by three linked SNPs, of which -52 G>A variation being solely responsible for the differential promoter activity of hGSTA1. Individuals homozygous for hGSTA1*B have...
