Abstract excerpt
Mammalian cytosolic glutathione S-transferases (GSTs; EC 2.5.1.18) form a supergene family consisting of four distinct families, named alpha, mu, pi and theta. In humans one member of the mu class gene family (GSTM1) has been shown to be polymorphic and is only expressed in 55-60% of individuals. Previous studies have shown a possible link with the null phenotype and susceptibility to cancer, in particular to...
