MGST1, a GSH transferase/peroxidase essential for development and hematopoietic stem cell differentiation. [PDF]
, 2018 We show for the first time that, in contrast to other glutathione transferases and peroxidases, deletion of microsomal glutathione transferase 1 (MGST1) in mice is embryonic lethal.

Palmitoyl Transferase Activity of Lecithin Retinol Acyl Transferase [PDF]
Biochemistry, 2006 Lecithin retinol acyl transferase (LRAT) has the essential role of catalyzing the transfer of an acyl group from the sn-1 position of lecithin to vitamin A to generate all-trans-retinyl esters (tREs). In vitro studies had shown previously that LRAT also can exchange palmitoyl groups between RPE65, a tRE binding protein essential for vision, and tREs ...

How do nematodes transfer phosphorylcholine to carbohydrates? [PDF]
, 2010 An unusual aspect of the biology of nematodes is the attachment of phosphorylcholine (PC) to carbohydrate. The attachment appears to play an important role in nematode development and, in some parasitic species, in immunomodulation.

Marmoset glutathione transferases with ketosteroid isomerase activity
Biochemistry and Biophysics Reports, 2021 The common marmoset Callithrix jacchus encodes two glutathione transferase (GST) enzymes with ketosteroid double-bond isomerase activity. The most active enzyme is CjaGST A3-3 showing a specific activity with 5-androsten-3,17-dione (Δ5-AD) of 62.1 ± 1.8 ...

The Genetic Architecture of Murine Glutathione Transferases. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2016 Glutathione S-transferase (GST) genes play a protective role against oxidative stress and may influence disease risk and drug pharmacokinetics. In this study, massive multiscalar trait profiling across a large population of mice derived from a cross ...

Glutathione S-Transferases in Marine Copepods
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2021 The glutathione S-transferase (GST) is a complex family of phase II detoxification enzymes, known for their ability to catalyze the conjugation of the reduced form of glutathione (GSH) to a wide variety of endogenous and exogenous electrophilic compounds

Functional characterization of a melon alcohol acyl-transferase gene family involved in the biosynthesis of ester volatiles. Identification of the crucial role of a threonine residue for enzyme activity [PDF]
, 2005 Volatile esters, a major class of compounds contributing to the aroma of many fruit, are synthesized by alcohol acyl-transferases (AAT). We demonstrate here that, in Charentais melon (Cucumis melo var.
