| Introduction | Glutathione S-transferase Mu 2 (GSTM2) belongs to the glutathione s-transferase (GST) family of proteins. GSTM2 is a glutathione S-transferase that belongs to the mu class. There are 8 families of GST proteins, specifically: alpha, kappa, mu, omega, pi, sigma, theta and zeta, each of which is composed of proteins that have various functions throµghout the cell. The mu class of enzymes functions in the detoxification of electrophilic compounds, including carcinogens, therapeutic drµgs, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress, by conjµgation with glutathione. The genes encoding the mu class of enzymes are structured in a gene cluster on chromosome 1p13.3 and are proven to be highly polymorphic. These genetic variants can change an individual''s susceptibility to carcinogens and toxins as well as have an effect on the toxicity and efficacy of several drµgs. |
| Synonyms | Glutathione S-transferase Mu 2, GST class-mu 2, GSTM2-2, GSTM2, GST4, GSTM, GTHMUS, MGC117303. |
| Source | Escherichia Coli. |
| Physical Appearance | Sterile Filtered colorless solution. |
| Formulation | The GSTM2 solution (0.5 mg/ml) contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH8.0), 10% glycerol,0.1M NaCl and 1mM DTT. |
