GSTP1 is a glutathione S-transferase that belongs to the pi class. This enzyme acts by catalyzing the reaction of glutathione with an acceptor molecule to form an S-substituted glutathione (S=sulfur). The reactions utilizing glutathione contribute the transformation of a wide variety of electrophiles, including reactive products of lipid, protein, carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins, and products of oxidative stress. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-210 from human GSTP1, fused to His-Tag, expressed in E. coli.
