GST Family Members
Across species, the glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzyme superfamily is subdivided into classes: Alpha, Delta, Kappa, Mu, Omega, Pi, Theta, Zeta, and Microsomal. The following table lists all GST enzymes of each class known to exist in Homo sapiens. The maximum enzyme number for each class found across all species in the UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot database is included, shown in the Max All species column.
| GST Class | Homo sapiens GST Class Members (22) | Max All Species |
|---|---|---|
| Alpha | GSTA1, GSTA2, GSTA3, GSTA4, GSTA5 | GSTA6 |
| Delta | GSTD12 | |
| Kappa | GSTK1 | GSTK2 |
| Mu | GSTM1, GSTM1L (RNAi), GSTM2, GSTM3, GSTM4, GSTM5 | GSTM7 |
| Omega | GSTO1, GSTO2 | GSTO3 |
| Pi | GSTP1 | GSTP2 |
| Theta | GSTT1, GSTT2, GSTT4 | GSTT7 |
| Zeta | GSTZ1 (aka GSTZ1 MAAI-Maleylacetoacetate isomerase) | GSTZ3 |
| Microsomal | MGST1, MGST2, MGST3 | MGST3 |
