Glutathione S-Transferase Kappa 1 Human Recombinant Shipping:Ice Packs Synonyms GST13, GST13-13, GSTK1-1, GST class-kappa, EC 2.5.1.18, Glutathione S-transferase kappa 1, Glutathione S-transferase subunit 13, hGSTK1, GSTK1. Introduction GSTK1 is involved in cellular detoxification. GSTK1 is localized to the peroxisome and catalyzes the conjugation of the thiol group of glutathione (GSH) to the electrophilic groups of a broad range of hydrophobic substrates, leading to an easier removal of the latter from the cells. Description GSTK1 Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 226 amino acids (1-226 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 25.5 kDa. GSTK1 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Source Escherichia Coli. Physical Appearance Sterile filtered colorless solution. Formulation GSTK1 solution containing 20mM Tris pH-8, 1mM DTT and 10% glycerol. Stability GSTK1 Human Recombinant although stable at 4°C for 1 week, should be stored below -18°C. Please prevent freeze thaw cycles.
