GSTA1 polyclonal antibody

This gene encodes a member of the enzyme family, and its function is to add glutathione to target electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. This action is an important step in the detoxification of these compounds. This subfamily of enzymes has a special role in protecting cells from reactive oxygen species and peroxidation products. The polymorphism of this gene affects the individual's ability to metabolize different drugs. This gene is located in a group of similar genes and pseudogenes on chromosome 6. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variations.
