Rabbit anti-Human GSTP1 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P09211

Target Species

Human

Target Name

GSTP1

Target Full Name

Glutathione S-transferase P

Target Function

Conjugation of reduced glutathione to a wide number of exogenous and endogenous hydrophobic electrophiles. Involved in the formation of glutathione conjugates of both prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) and prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2). Participates in the formation of novel hepoxilin regioisomers. Regulates negatively CDK5 activity via p25/p35 translocation to prevent neurodegeneration.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Mitochondrion. Nucleus. Note=The 83 N-terminal amino acids function as un uncleaved transit peptide, and arginine residues within it are crucial for mitochondrial localization.

Target Protein Families

GST superfamily, Pi family

Target Research Area

Metabolism

Target Synonyms

Deafness; Deafness X-linked 7; DFN7; FAEES3; Fatty Acid Ethyl Ester Synthase III ; Glutathione S Transferase 3; Glutathione S Transferase Pi; Glutathione S-transferase P; Glutathione S-transferase pi 1; GST class-pi; GST3; GSTP; Gstp1; GSTP1-1; GSTP1_HUMAN; PI; X linked 7

Target Background

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. Based on their biochemical, immunologic, and structural properties, the soluble GSTs are categorized into 4 main classes: alpha, mu, pi, and theta. This GST family member is a polymorphic gene encoding active, functionally different GSTP1 variant proteins that are thought to function in xenobiotic metabolism and play a role in susceptibility to cancer, and other diseases.
