Glutathione S-transferase - GST Family Members

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

Famous quotes containing the words family and/or members:

    Grandmothers are to life what the Ph.D. is to education. There is nothing you can feel, taste, expect, predict, or want that the grandmothers in your family do not know about in detail.
    Lois Wyse (20th century)

    [T]here is no breaking out of the intentional vocabulary by explaining its members in other terms.
    Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
