Abstract excerpt
The glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme encoded by the GSTP1 gene is one of the critical enzymes involved in detoxification of carcinogens. The substitution of isoleucine to valine residue at position 105 of the GSTP1 protein results in decreased enzyme activity and hence less capability of effective detoxification. Hence, we investigated the role of GSTP1 I105V polymorphism in modulating the risk of...
