Glutathione S-transferase theta 2, also known as GSTT2, is member of the glutathione s-transferase (GST) family of proteins. There are eight families of GST proteins, namely alpha, kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta and zeta, each of which is composed of proteins that have a variety of functions throughout the cell. The theta class members GSTT1 and GSTT2 share 55% amino acid sequence identity and both are thought to have an important role in human carcinogenesis. The theta genes have a similar structure, being composed of five exons with identical exon/intron boundaries. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-244 of human GSTT2, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
