Application

Monoclonal Anti-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) antibody has been used for use in western blot and ELISA. This product has also been used for dot blot.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of many hydrophobic and electrophilic compounds with reduced glutathione.

General description

Monoclonal anti-glutathione-S-transferase (GST) (mouse IgG2b isotype) is derived from the GST-2 hybridoma produced by the fusion of mouse myeloma cells and splenocytes from a BALB/c mouse immunized with a purified recombinant GST fusion protein.GST belongs to three family of proteins distinguished as cytosolic, mitochondrial and microsomal GST. At present, eight distinct classes of the soluble cytoplasmic mammalian glutathione S-transferases have been identified: α, κ, μ, ω, σ, θ, π and ζ.

Recombinant target proteins are often expressed as a fusion product with Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) tags using various expression vector constructs. Thus, antibodies directed against the GST tags of the recombinant constructs can facilitate the purification and study of target proteins. Monoclonal Anti-Glutathione-S-Transferase (GST) antibody reacts with GST from Schistosoma japonicum. Furthermore, the product identifies native as well as denatured-reduced forms of purified GST and GST fusion proteins. The antibody does not detect GST derived from rat, rabbit, porcine and bovine liver or from human placenta.
