GSTA1, also known as Glutathione S-transferase alpha 1, belongs to a glutathione S-transferase alpha class and is the most abundantly expressed in liver. This protein functions in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drugs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjugation with glutathione. Recombinant human GSTA1 protein was expressed in E. coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-222 from human GSTA1, expressed in E. coli.
