Glutathione S-Transferase

Source:http://linkedlifedata.com/resource/umls/id/C0017837

MSH: A transferase that catalyzes the addition of aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic FREE RADICALS as well as EPOXIDES and arene oxides to GLUTATHIONE. Addition takes place at the SULFUR. It also catalyzes the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrite.,NCI: A family of enzymes involved in metabolism and in making toxic compounds less harmful to the body.,NCI: A class of enzymes that catalyze the reaction of glutathione with an acceptor molecule (an arene oxide) to form an S-substituted glutathione; a key step in detoxification of many substances; start of the mercapturic acid pathway.,NCI: A group of enzymes of broad specificity. It catalyzes reaction of substrates RX and glutathione into HX and R-S-Glutathione. R may be an aliphatic, aromatic or heterocyclic group; X may be a sulfate, nitrile or halide group. Also catalyses the addition of aliphatic epoxides and arene oxides to glutathione, the reduction of polyol nitrate by glutathione to polyol and nitrile, certain isomerization re
