GSTM2 polyclonal antibody

Members of the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family of proteins function in the detoxification of xenobiotics to protect cells against toxicant-induced damage. There are eight families of GST proteins, namely alpha, zeta, theta, kappa, mu, pi, sigma and omega, each of which are composed of proteins that have a variety of functions throughout the cell. The GSTM proteins (GSTM1-GSTM5 in human and GSTM1-GSTM7 in mouse) are members of the mu class of enzymes that conjugate with glutathione and function in the detoxification of carcinogens, environmental toxins and products of oxidative stress.
