The role of glutathione transferases in TNT detoxification [PDF]
, 2012 Glutathione transferases (GSTs) are multi-functional enzymes with an important role in plant biochemical mechanisms of xenobiotic detoxification. The GSTs have been extensively studied due to their ability to detoxify herbicides; recently they have been ...

The Arabidopsis Book, 2011 Glutathione is a simple sulfur compound composed of three amino acids and the major non-protein thiol in many organisms, including plants. The functions of glutathione are manifold but notably include redox-homeostatic buffering. Glutathione status is modulated by oxidants as well as by nutritional and other factors, and can influence protein structure

Glutathione and mitochondria [PDF]
Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2014 Glutathione (GSH) is the main non-protein thiol in cells whose functions are dependent on the redox-active thiol of its cysteine moiety that serves as a cofactor for a number of antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes. While synthesized exclusively in the cytosol from its constituent amino acids, GSH is distributed in different compartments, including ...

GLUTATHIONE DETERMINATION AND A STUDY OF THE ACTIVITY OF GLUTATHIONE-PEROXIDASE, GLUTATHIONE-TRANSFERASE, AND GLUTATHIONE-REDUCTASE IN RENAL TRANSPLANTS [PDF]
Renal Failure, 2002 The aim of this work is to study the temporary variation of oxidative stress in renal transplants, both in plasma and in erythrocytes (CR). In order to do so, we determined total glutathione (GST) levels, both oxidized (GSSG) and reduced (GSH), and the activity of enzymes, glutathione peroxidase (G-px), glutathione reductase (G-red) and glutathione ...

The Role of Glutathione Transferases in the Detoxification of TNT [PDF]
, 2010 Manufacture, use, storage and improper disposal of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) have led to widespread, global contamination of soil and groundwater.

Intracellular glutathione pools are heterogeneously concentrated [PDF]
, 2013 Glutathione is present in millimolar concentrations in the cell, but its relative distribution among cellular compartments remains elusive. We have chosen the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) as an example organelle to study compartment-specific glutathione ...

Prodrug Approach for Increasing Cellular Glutathione Levels
Molecules, 2010 Reduced glutathione (GSH) is the most abundant non-protein thiol in mammalian cells and the preferred substrate for several enzymes in xenobiotic metabolism and antioxidant defense.
