Description
Application Biological antioxidant1 that has been used with antitumor agents to enhance activity2 or to reduce side effects.3
  May be used at 5-10 mM to elute glutathione S-transferase （GST） from glutathione agarose.
Biochem/physiol Actions Endogenous antioxidant that plays a major role in reducing reactive oxygen species formed during cellular metabolism and the respiratory burst. Glutathione-S-transferase catalyzes the formation of glutathione thioethers with xenobiotics, leukotrienes, and other molecules that have an electrophilic center. Glutathione also forms disulfide bonds with cysteine residues in proteins. Via these mechanisms, it can have the paradoxical effect of reducing the efficacy of anti-cancer agents.
