Abstract excerpt
Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a family of enzymes important for conjugation with glutathione of endogenous and exogenous compounds. Human GSTM1 null allele is associated with toxicity and cancers. Cynomolgus and rhesus macaques have molecular and enzymatic similarities of GSTs to humans; however, genetic variants have not been investigated. In macaques, instead of pseudogenized GSTM1, GSTM5 is a predominant...
