Recombinant Human Glutathione S-Transferase Omega 1 Mutant

GSTO1 belongs to the theta class glutathione S-transferase-like (GSTTL) protein family. GSTO1 is expressed in a broad array of human tissues and exhibits glutathione-dependent thiol transferase and dehydroascorbate reductase activities as well as catalyzing the reduction of monomethylarsonate which is an intermediate in the pathway of arsenic biotransformation. Furthermore, GSTO1 shields from oxidative stress which is a risk factor for Alzheimer disease, vascular dementia and stroke. GSTO1 is abundant in alveolar macrophages and airway secretions, with the levels reduced in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients. In mouse, the GSTO1 protein acts as a small stress response protein, probably involved in cellular redox homeostasis.
