  2. 1. Equine glutathione transferase A3-3 : an efficient steroid isomerase

    Author : Helena Lindström; Bengt Mannervik; Ann-Kristin Östlund Farrants; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Equine; glutatione transferase; steroidogenesis; steroid isomerase; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) comprise a superfamily of enzymes prominently involved in detoxication by making toxic electrophiles more polar and therefore more easily excretable. However some GSTs have developed alternative functions. READ MORE

  4. 2. Exploring the steroidogenic activity of glutathione transferases across species

    Author : Helena Lindström; Bengt Mannervik; Kjell Wikvall; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Glutathione transferase; steroidogenesis; GST A3-3; testis; androstenedione; pregnenedione; equine; steroidogenesis inhibition; Drosophila GSTE14; neurokemi med molekylär neurobiologi; Neurochemistry with Molecular Neurobiology;

    Abstract : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) comprise a superfamily of enzymes prominently involved in detoxication. However, some GSTs have developed alternative functions. READ MORE

  5. 3. Exploring the Functional Plasticity of Human Glutathione Transferases : Allelic Variants, Novel Isoenzyme and Enzyme Redesign

    Author : Ann-Sofie Johansson; Philip Board; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Glutathione transferases (GSTs) make up a superfamily that is involved in the cellular defense against various reactive compounds by catalyzing the conjugation of glutathione to electrophilic centra. Members of this family have also been implicated in different facets of biological signaling. READ MORE

  6. 4. Alpha-class glutathione transferases as steroid isomerases and scaffolds for protein redesign

    Author : Pär L. Pettersson; Roberta F. Colman; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : The present work focuses on the glutathione transferase (GST) Alpha-class enzymes, their characteristics as steroid isomerases and structural plasticity as malleable scaffolds for protein design. The GSTs are a family of detoxication enzymes that appears to have a wider variety of additional functions. READ MORE

  7. 5. Alpha-class Glutathione Transferases from Pig: a Comparative Study

    Author : Natalia Fedulova; Bengt Mannervik; Francoise Raffalli-Mathieu; Mario Lo Bello; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; glutathione transferase; substrate selectivity; steroidogenesis; Sus scrofa; functional comparison; irreproducibility; reproducible assays; Biochemistry; Biokemi; Biokemi; Biochemistry;

    Abstract : Glutathione transferases (GSTs, EC 2.5.1.18) possess multiple functions and have potential applications in biotechnology. READ MORE
