| Description: | The GSTA1 Protein serves as a glutathione S-transferase, catalyzing the nucleophilic attack of the sulfur atom of glutathione on the electrophilic groups of a broad spectrum of both exogenous and endogenous compounds (Probable). This enzymatic activity includes the formation of glutathione conjugates for prostaglandin A2 (PGA2) and prostaglandin J2 (PGJ2) (PubMed:9084911). Additionally, GSTA1 plays a role in hormone biosynthesis by catalyzing the isomerization of D5-androstene-3,17-dione (AD) into D4-androstene-3,17-dione (PubMed:11152686). Notably, its glutathione-dependent peroxidase activity extends to the metabolism of oxidized linoleic acid, specifically targeting the fatty acid hydroperoxide (13S)-hydroperoxy-(9Z,11E)-octadecadienoate/13-HPODE (PubMed:16624487). The diverse enzymatic functions of GSTA1 underscore its involvement in crucial cellular processes, from detoxification reactions to hormone biosynthesis and the metabolism of oxidized lipids. GSTA1 Protein, Human (HEK293, C-His) is the recombinant human-derived GSTA1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag. The total length of GSTA1 Protein, Human (HEK293, C-His) is 222 a.a., with molecular weight of ~26 kDa. |
