Background
Glutathione S-transferases are a family of enzymes that play an important role in detoxification by catalyzing the conjugation of many hydrophobic and electrophilic compounds with reduced glutathione. GST is commonly used to create fusion proteins. The tag has the size of 220 amino acids (roughly 26 KDa), which, compared to other tags like the myc- or the FLAG-tag, is quite big. Genetic polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferase and its altered expression and activity are associated with oxidative DNA damage and also damage of the kidney. Subsequently the individual's risk of cancer susceptibility increases. 1
